Well if somebody's giving me a script, I'll consider it. But it's not something I'm chasing.

As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

Honestly, you have to take care of yourself. That's probably something I have learned on the road.
