I lived up on Kanan and Mulholland. It's a bit of a drive, but once you get there, the horses, vineyards, it's just so peaceful.

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

A lot of hip-hop artists wear fur, and they think it's a status symbol. That doesn't register for me; I just see dead animals.

It's always interesting to me that we all hear music differently. It's an awesome experience to hear what other people hear.

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.

That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.

If it's successful and it sounds awesome, and looks killer live, then I guess I can pat myself on the back and take all the credit too.
