I just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.

Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually.

After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press.

I just don't fit into the box.

Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst

I grew up with a lot of brothers and male cousins, so I had to worm my way in to get heard. But that's sort of what excites me.

It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.
