Once I picked up an electric guitar, I lost interest in piano, and I just wanted to rock. I studied piano for so long, I got burned out on it.

I make music and I can't stop. It's a compulsion and an obsession and a curse.

My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it's hard to make a story out of it.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

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

You think you know who you are and then other people have these other ideas.

Physically touring is tough on me, not that I am weakling. I lose weight. I can't always find the things I need to keep my strength up. It is very draining physically. It is taxing for my mind and body, but in a good way. It feels healthy in a way to purge things out of my system every night.
