If I were white, I'd get less criticism.

I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.

I get a lot of joy from playing instruments, and I have a different personality on each instrument. I like to let that come out. I get kind of selfish.

My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.

I couldn't tell you what I am going to do next 'cause I have no idea, but I am open to anything.

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

You need to open up so that more comes through. And you can just feel that when your ego is not in the way and when you're letting it be what it wants to be. You have to let it be what it wants to be as opposed to what you think it should be.
