Record companies are not necessarily interested in you realizing your artistic dream. The bottom line is that they got to sell records.

It's difficult to really be an artist nowadays. People are just on another page. You have a society that needs you to say something, but they don't want to give you the environment to be able to be just a functioning, happy, normal person. It's like, the industry is at odds with you, the society is at odds with you. You start to live in this very confined box where it's like, It's "me" and "them."

Fame is like getting across the street. It's like, if there's nothing to be across the street for, it's a pointless destination. It's like, "I gotta get across the street, man! I gotta be there! I gotta be there!" Then you get across the street and you're like, "Yeah I'm here!" And then, that's it. Fame doesn't make you particularly happy.

I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.

I guess something that you love to do, you gotta ease up off it and give it a little space, come back and be fresh to it.
