I never sit down to write or say, "Today, I have to record something." I wait to hear it and then I go for it.

A lot of people don't listen to the lyrics, really.

Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.

This world is so crazy. So many things are based on popularity versus talent. So there's a lot of folks who are not so talented, but they're popular and they have "x" amount of followers on social media.

People feel they have to live that stereotypical lifestyle in order to be a rock star. You don't have to shoot heroin and act a certain way to be a rock and roll musician.

For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy.

I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
