Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

I was very fortunate to be at the vanguard of music video.

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.

Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.

I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.
