If there's one thing that differentiates me from the rest of my family it's the rock element. I hung out with friends who like punk rock a lot. Not getting a big record deal, and having a hard time for years, it means you have to prove yourself and scratch your way up from nothing.

I'm not very prolific. I'm not good at sitting down as an artist and saying 'Okay, I need to put in my four hours today.'

I don't like talking about music.

You have to be willing to give a lot to be in a relationship with me because a lot of the time it's about me.

I'm trying to solidify a long-term career, because I have no other skills and no other abilities.

It's better to embrace your roots than it is to fight it, because then you're just fighting something that you're not going to win. We're like a band of gypsies, and it makes sense.

I went to college and stage school, and thought about acting, but... I just don't like actors very much! They're not as fun as musicians.
