I'm always trying to swim to new ground.

I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.

I grab an instrument to make my body a song, but I'm not a player as such, maybe a little more on guitar, but certainly not piano.

I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.

Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.

I was working with D'Mile - he's amazing! And I don't know, it was like that guitar riff was so crazy to me, and so I think I was frustrated about something that happened earlier and I feel like I'm just a good guy, I don't cut people off, I don't really call people out when they do stuff that they should be called out on, and I'm just always the one being the bigger person. So, that day "Gangster" just came out. That's just how I feel in that day to day life.

I think a lot of people have an idealistic view - if you grow up in the country, there can't possibly be anything wrong with you.
