No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore.

But you know what I'm trying to say, it's that there's a couple of really dangerous drugs out there and I've lost some friends to them.

My father lived by the philosophy, 'Be yourself, because everyone else is taken,' and he made sure I did, too. Whatever I wanted to do, he supported me. I don't mean that I was spoilt - he didn't believe in material gifts - but he watched my back while I worked to achieve things.

It's all about the music. For me, that's truly what I live for. Just music constantly. Always listening to, writing, or playing music. That's definitely me.

Obviously, I'm a little more responsible these days.

I'm happy doing what I'm doing, and if you have that kind of attitude then everything else from there on is a bonus.

I don't really put too much emphasis on what somebody else might think of it. Otherwise your putting limits on yourself.
