A true measure of success is just to work hard and get my music out there and just be myself and be real.

People can smell the bullshit and see through the curtains. People know when something's real and when something isn't, and when some dude really means what he's saying or singing, or when he doesn't.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.

Hold your head high heavy heart.

I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I want to play a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which is where the New York Knicks play. That's what I want.
