I just wanted to eat, to survive. I started singing a cappella in bars. I saved up money to get my first guitar and started writing songs.

Music is the reason I started talking to people. When I started singing in bars and trains, I began to learn the behaviour of people. Music was the bait that helped me get something from them and give myself to them.

Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.

To survive is to win.

With three kids you are just trying to survive. You can't be fastidious.

You have to wake up and you have to run if you want to survive.
