The hardest part about what I do, the most vulnerable place is my relationship with my family and Sara, my amazing partner, because I'm leaving a lot. And as a touring artist, I'm constantly coming and going, but also when I'm at home, my studio's at home. I'm leaving to go into a music world in my head.

They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.

This is a recipe for major security problems.
