I'm not interested in corporate magic or fame.

I think the best songs are being written by the very under-stated, under-appreciated indie artists. The thing that separates them from mainstream success is they either consciously or unknowingly refuse to deliver on a big chorus.

I started selling corn dogs, ended up in the music industry. That's how it all started.

I have to sing it every night, I can't get up on stage if it's some bullshit story.

I'm terribly forgetful. I've lost laptops, cell-phones.

I have to shut down from other artists, because otherwise I end up giving them my stories.

Crowds respond to anthemic choruses.
