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'd rather have a lot of little donations than a couple big ones. That shows that people care and are giving what they can.

Matter flows from place to place, and momentarily comes together to be you.

I don't think that I have much power at all, and I don't think that I'm trying to do anything outside of making my fans happy with the music that I write and record and, of course, I want to branch out and I want to have more fans, so I try to get interviews and I try to talk to different outlets and I try to get my music everywhere it can be.

The songs are always drawn from personal experience; I'm putting myself into my music. I usually am playing myself. It's art, art that represents my life.

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

People don't like what I represent, and they think I'm trying to represent the whole gay community just because I'm a gay person and I make music. By default I'm supposed to represent a whole community? I think that's ridiculous.
