I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

As long as you're excited about what you're playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it's going to be great.

And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird.

I'm not interested in forcing my music on people, and that's what the whole music industry nowadays is based on is forcing stations to play it, forcing people to listen to it.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
