I relate to hustlers who want to get out of where they are and create something different for themselves.

I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

I was 19 when I recorded my first album, and I've been exposed to many things during these last few years; all the baby fat is gone.

I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.

I believe life's too short for compromises and bad fitting jeans

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

I always want to keep things unwritten. I'm inspired by Bob Dylan, who's kept evolving and changing his sound. I think that's what you should do as an artist. Why be comfortable?
