I would say, if you're a musician then you probably have some capacity and some intuition. You've got to trust that intuition and be true to what compels you. There will be a lot of things along the way that will try to remove you from that, and if you do, then I think you are diminished. If you stay with it, then you have something that's real.

I've spent several years now with my head down.

I like surfing; I bring a surfboard with me on tour.

You make kingdoms and castles on your own.

It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.

I have my share of insecurities, hopes and fears. My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

When you're just shagging girls, you can talk about it, but once it gets real, then you don't.
