There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

I only write music for myself, I don't try and appeal to anyone else.

Trying to manage diabetes is hard because if you don't, there are consequences you'll have to deal with later in life.

I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
