I dropped out of high school when I was, like, 15, so I just focused on doing music. It's all I wanted to do; I didn't want to work or anything else. I took all the negativity and obstacles that came with life, and I just put it in the music.

I wasn't a great student; I was lazy. But when I was in sociology class, I listened.

I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.

I struggled academically in high school because it was hard to focus. It was hard to focus on those things that were other than artistic stuff.

I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

I wasn't interested in going to the school dances. I wasn't interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That's what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience.

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.

I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do.

Finally, I was no longer a student and was making music for myself.
