I've never had a clique. It's impossible when you're always traveling.

I've always done things myself. I've never bragged or screamed that I produced a record before. I never told anybody.

Hip-hop and R&B is mostly what I listen to. I don't have a connection with punk rock - I just never had that experience.

I've always dressed like a dude.

We're always going to remind ourselves of our mistakes and how we do things differently, trying to be a better person or whatever.

For me, the moment the mic is on and it's rolling, it's impossible to vocally relax for some reason. But one day, I'm going to be able to sing the way I sang when I was a little kid, completely open and free. That's, I think, the one thing that's changed: Growing older, I'm not ashamed to hear my voice.
