For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.

For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.

I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

I don't go about playing music differently. It changes my sleeping schedule and my drinking habits, that's what I like to say.

I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.
