When you’re young, you don’t know that you’re poor, you just know whether or not you’re happy. And i was happy, and loved. My mom did whatever she has to do to get by, and the lesson i learned from my childhood was that it’s possible to pursue happiness, no matter where that pursuit may lead you.

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

Art is really predicated upon the experiences that you've had in your life. You only have to share what you've consumed.

You have to do the work. You have to make the opportunity. It doesn’t find you, you find it.

Learn to laugh at your problems, cause everybody else does.

Some people believe in God. I believe in music. Some people pray. I turn up the radio.

I'm terminally dissatisfied. That's probably part of being an artist.
