To make big steps, you've got to take action yourself and not listen to other people.

Motivation is just this potion to create stuff, a compulsion to express the truth of my own experiences in this life.

My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.
