Life is all about how things rough up against you and how you see them and the vantage point you have from them.

Everything around me is surreal. I get picked up in cars and go to celebrity bashes, and I get sponsorship on clothes, and it's great, and I really enjoy it. But you should remember where it all started: the music. That's the key.

In the course of my career, which has been an incredible rollercoaster ride, I look at the journey and think it's been immense.

We can all accept criticism of creative work, but to be publicly ridiculed for it is incredibly difficult to deal with.

I don't know if, in a previous life, I was, like, the embodiment of a guitar, because any time someone plays a guitar with the licks, I just resonate to it.
