Everyone has to learn to work with people - it's part of being an adult, too.

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 think it's such utter hypocrisy that so many people in our society were obviously all watching pornography and yet we treat these people [actors] like they're sub-human. I think it's just disgusting.

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 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.

It's really important for me to live purposefully, and I feel that way putting music out in the world and having people connect with it. That means everything to me.

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