It's my dream to make music that can make people feel like they're flying

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 don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

Sometimes it takes just living your life a certain way to be able to open yourself to the rhythm of the cosmos.

Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.

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

For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.
