I was 3-years-old - to this day it is a vivid memory. My family and I were on a boat, catching fish. As one fish was caught, he was writhing, then he was thrown against the side of the boat. You couldn't disguise what it was. This was what we did to animals to eat them. The animal went from a living, vibrant creature fighting for life to a violent death. I recognized it, as did my brothers and sisters.

My music is going to be true. I'm not out to sell records. I'm experiencing something, and it's what I feel.

They tell you to memorize your lines, follow your light, and hit your marks. Those are the three things that you shouldn't do. You should not learn your lines, you should not hit your mark, and you should never follow your light. Find your light - that's my opinion. Everyone else will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.

It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.

I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.

I don't know a single person in life that doesn't have conflict.

I've worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don't work out.
