What puts my mind at rest is knowing I'm a person of integrity. I really do stand for what I say I stand for. I'm real!

I would like people to see me as someone who is genuine and sincere and cares about the people who support me, and who doesn't forget how lucky I am to be doing what I love.

I'm not always open to creative input when I have my heart set on a creative idea or a message I want to convey.

When people have expectations, you're going to make a lot of them upset - when in fact I'm not trying to represent anybody but myself.

I care about making music and I care about creating experiences for my fans with my music and my videos and my performances.

I get the most gratification in life by feeling like I'm doing something purposeful and meaningful and makes a difference to other people, and that comes with its pros and cons. I've accepted this is the kind of person that I am, and this is the path I've chosen in life - and I'm stickin' with it.

I want to make honest music and tell honest stories that hopefully reflect the thoughts and feelings other people have.
