Music is just such... it's not therapy, but it's a release, it's a joy, it's a pleasure. And it's a job - which is weird, because I don't think of it as a job.

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.

I've never really aspired to the spotlight; I just wanted to do music, which is kind of weird because music comes with that spotlight.

I've been probably one of the most boot-legged artists ever. It's just another way of getting music that is wanted by the people to the people and now you can just download from the internet, so it might be different times now for musicians.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.
