It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.

Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.

I love stretching myself musically.

I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?

All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.

I don't mind people not liking me as long as there's mutual respect.

I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!
