PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN YOU ARE FULL OF DOUBT AND IT ALL SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THERE IS STILL SOME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU, ME. XO

As artists, it’s our job to delve into the uncomfortable, the difficult and the challenging.

You say 'believe in your dreams', I say that I believe in YOU.

If I wasn’t making music I would probably be in the woods with a big deer….Talking to myself.

Approval isn’t necessary. It’s nice when you get it, but it’s not going to stop us from being who we are. I mean, if I’d have listened to approval, I’d never have made it one day onstage. But to be criticized, if there’s validity, as upset as you are, you can learn from it.

When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.

One memory I have is there were a lot of dogs at this one place and my brother got in a horrific fight with a dog and the dog bit his toe off. They became fast friends after that. He lost a toe and gained a friend.
