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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
