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

I'm not really a very social person. It exhausts me when I'm out.

I did a handful of photo shoots and I never made any money for it just because I was trying to build a portfolio. I decided that that's not what I wanted to do.

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

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

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.
