If you're good, and you know you're good, and you know you're better than those people getting paid to do it, you still have to have an open ear….Nobody's music is the enemy of your music…The idea that someone else has made it when they shouldn't have made it is toxic thinking.

I am invincible, as long as I'm alive.

I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool.

I have the obsessiveness of someone who's a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction. Except I never had the addiction.

I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'

I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give returned to me.

No matter what I do, I'm going to earn it.
