Growing up, I just wanted to be like everyone else. I didn't value or understand the beauty in being different at the time in my life.

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

In my mind, my music is kind of inseparable from my hometown and my life growing up.

There was no religion in my life growing up. Did God invent us or did we invent God?

Most of us won't see one another after graduation, and even if we do it will be different. We'll be different. We'll be adults--cured, tagged and labeled and paired and identified and placed neatly on our life path, perfectly round marbles set to roll down even, well-defined slopes.
