I sort of do what I say and say what I do which I'm happy with because it makes my life real easy. When I was younger, people would say that I was inspired by David Lynch, so I went and watched his stuff and I was surprised. I thought it was smart, with what I was trying to do lyrically. So I started watching some of his stuff. I've never seen his movies in [their] entirety, I'm more interested in him as a person and how he came to be successful taking an alternative route, sort of a subculture icon.

Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer, life imitates art.

When you're an introvert like me and you've been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It's a real release.

In the end, I find my influences or inspirations where I can.

Dark and lonely. I need somebody to hold me

I wish I could escape into some alter-ego, just so I could feel more comfortable onstage.

Dope and diamonds, dope and diamonds, that's all that I want
