As soon as I became old enough to make my dreams my reality, I became a firm believer that the subconscious and the world outside of our flesh and blood is essentially the truth.

I made money. What am I gonna invest in? Stocks? No. Im going to invest in music.

For me going solo meant freedom to collaborate and do whatever I feel I'm good at doing. For me it was really not ever expanding as an artist, developing everything from my songwriting to my singing to my mission statement to my vision. I've been so inspired by all the creative freedom that it brings that I have no complaints.

I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks.

I love big budgeted, epic rock landscapes. That's what turns me on.

I don't like to be afraid. I'm afraid every day, all the time.

I mean, I grew up with pretty down-to-earth, atheist parents, but I was born a Pisces.
