If you are making smart decisions and doing the right things in the correct order and dedicating yourself to something, the success is inevitable.

My mom was a sub teacher her whole life. My aunt was a teacher her whole life. So that wasn't hard to do. Performing in front of people started when I was a child. My mom ran a theatre. So we were around it. Getting up in front of people has never been an issue. So I think once you get over that part of it, I'm happy to teach anybody anything.

I get a chance to see new bands and new music. I've seen a lot of amazing local bands, bands that I think 'have what it takes', that they could become the next big thing. More often than not it doesn't happen.

It costs lots of money to make records. It costs lots of money to generate artwork and manufacture and then ship things to people. If it keeps getting stolen, then the band has less ability to come to your town and perform. And that is ultimately what all of us want to do.

If you are making smart decisions and doing the right things in the correct order and dedicating yourself to something, the success is inevitable.

You won't walk into a store and steal food. But people think it's ok to steal music.

There's always going to be haters. And the more hate you get, the better you are doing.
