Don't give up. It's just the weight of the world.

As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair.

Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.

If I'm in a relationship, I'll go to the ends of the earth. If I'm on the road and we have a conversation, and she says, "God, I really wish I was there with you right now," I'll hang up the phone, send a car, and have the plane ready.

I'm the depresso guy on holidays.

I think that my relationship with my fans has been very special from day one. It's been very special in spite of the fact that I don't think I would ever be able to call myself a press darling. I don't think there's ever been a superficial hype machine around me.

Grobanite makes me think of a type of harmless crustacean.
