I'm a goof. I talk too much. I tell stories. I tell cheesy Dad jokes. I'm theatrical and I'll mix things up and I'll surprise people. Those are the things that I just do because that's who I am.

I'd say Ernest Hemingway would be a blast to get drunk with.

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.

Prose poetry is not set to a melody or music so there's something freeing about it.

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.
