You can punch a wall or write a song. Just as painful either way, but you have something to show for it at the end of the day with a song.

I believe there's a God but I'm not too sure of his relevance.

Try to find the right balance of keeping things exciting and treating your audience with respect, and also treating yourself as an artist with respect.

I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.

One of my biggest heroes and people I was fortunate enough to be around is David Bowie. I look at his career, and he always had the balls to break things that weren't broken, to step away from something and try something new, at risk of failing.

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

It's kind of a miracle to think that a device in your pocket can play pretty much any song that the world has ever created.
