I think music needs danger; it needs risk.

I'm just living my life, and I'm not gonna live my life for other people.

I think that me now, I wouldn't take a 16-year-old seriously in any capacity. "You're a kid, why would I listen to you? You're a child."

When I have time, I write other things. I'm working on a book, I paint, I sculpt, I play with my dog, I watch television - I catch up on South Park or movies or whatever I've missed, normal stuff.

I'm kind of a homebody.

I have a place in New England. It's in the middle of nowhere, like horror movie style - Stephen King-ville. It's a good kind of retreat for me to regroup my thoughts and work. I split time: 50 percent there, 50 percent in New York

When I realized I could actually make my decisions, it was a very strange feeling. It's like a switch went off in my brain, like, "Oh, then why am I doing this? I don't enjoy this, so I'm just gonna stop doing this."
