I think by the time I finished college I was calling myself a professional because I was, you know. I was making a living playing music.

People YouTube me and crap and then, they probably don't want to see me after seeing a friendly posted YouTube video, so I'm constantly having to take those down.

There's nothing that can prepare you for fame and for the music business at any point in history.

I've composed all my life and kept things, and even developed things I've done in college into something now.

The way we teach is a very linear kind of way.

We have a society that wants somebody to come out of college with a degree that will make them a slave for whatever discipline they're in.

My motives at a young age were, "I want to be rich and famous".
