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.

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'm a sensitive guy, and I'm already one of my harshest critics, so if other people are hard on me, it just amplifies how hard I already am on myself.

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

I'm better at accepting the people who don't have nice things to say about me anonymously, but until you've experienced it, you don't understand how much it can affect you and mess with your mind.

I'm such an awful faker. Everything that comes out of my mouth needs to be the real deal. Not that I ever try to be deceiving, but sometimes it takes a while to find your voice and find what you want to say.
