Everything that people lob at you who don't know you, it all hurts. When you're doing something as simple as making music, which really, theoretically, shouldn't hurt anyone - I mean, it's a song! Step back for five seconds and laugh.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.
You have to be careful not to make music something you don't want to do. Which happens. I've gotten off the road and been like, 'I hate it. I hate singing, I hate playing guitar.' Six days later, I'm in my bedroom singing at the top of my lungs because I love it so much.
If you are making music for other people, you will have to be aware of how people relate to it.
If you're performing music that is not who you are or where you're at, it is painful. It's painful for the performer and for the audience.
Music isn't what I do. It's who I am.
I think you can feel the pain I've experienced in my music. It's something that a lot of people can relate to.
I like to think I don't make music for ignorant people.
I never think my music isn't easy until I got to teach it to other people.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.
