Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.

Making art is about accepting what’s going on around you and turning it into

The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music.

What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

In music you have people exposing this very vulnerable part of themselves, and you also have the lifestyle is so fast that oftentimes people search for whatever the easiest way to feel relaxed in the midst of all of it, or the easiest way to have energy.
