High school is a dark place; I hung out with ‘freaks.’

It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.

I kinda have the opposite of ADD. I have a hyper-focused disorder, where if there's a given task in front of me I really concentrate on that.

I don't want to be some actor talking about how he wants to be a musician. It's something I'm really passionate about and I don't want to be spouting off at the mouth about something before it's out there and can speak for itself.

You're weak. Be strong and it's easy.

I win and succeed only 'cause I fail so much. I fail all the time. I wrote 70 songs just to have 12 good ones. For the video I shot 60 hours of footage. 60 hours! To come up with an 8 minute video. So really I only win 'cause I fail.

I think that to explore the uncomfortable and the politically incorrect is the job of the artist.
