I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.

I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.

Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.

There's a lot of rage you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent.
