I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.

I'm a private person.

I am very self-critical, but that's a good thing because it keeps me growing as a human being and as a musician.

I want to be in control of my own destiny.

There's a real sense of desperation when you grow up in poverty.

I'd much rather be playing songs than talking to people.

You can make bad choices and find yourself in a downward spiral or you can find something that gets you out of it.
