Some people don't understand that I - as an artist and a person - I want to make my own decisions and create the music that I personally like.

When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.

I don't want anyone to fail, so if you can make money off music even though you can't sing or dance, that's genius.

I lost myself in the bubble of music - driving myself to be a success.

If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.

I think one of the pitfalls of doing your own music is that sometimes you can never be satisfied with it: you're afraid to say that it's done, and you keep reworking it or re-recording it or re-writing it.

My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.
