I can write songs without a guitar.

I quickly learned to take anger and use it to motivate me. My sister ran away from home, and she was my world. And that was that. The guitar became my world.

If a person ever came to me as a fan and tried to go out on a date, I wouldn't. I've had enough kind of crazy experiences in that department.

There are very few interviews I turn down, because I really dig talking to people and hanging out.

I can write songs without a guitar.

I had my dysfunctions, but music gave me peace and joy. I never felt in tune with the world. My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me. My art was my autonomy.

I was either going onstage or going into an interview or getting on a plane. You can't really feel everything fully when you don't have the time to process.
