"Be nice to your parents." When they made the decision to have a child, whether it was planned or not, they were changing their entire lives to do the best they could for this new human being. A lot of young people, we don't understand that.

I had never made a record before, so I didn't know anything about it. I don't know anything about knobs, frequencies, tones.

My parents dreaded the fact that I was changing my life to do this, but I just kept doing it.

I've been compared to people since the beginning. When you're starting out, you need a comparison so people will understand you right away.

The easiest songs to write are pure fiction. There is no limit to how you can tell the story. I find it difficult when I'm replaying an event through a song.

Listen to the Music of the Moment, people....Dance and Sing!

I'm a self-taught musician so how I read music is kind of very weak and I kind of read my own version of tablature, I write my own crappy reminders on what I'm playing.
