I Was Just A Very Dark Kid.

How You Sound. How You Look. Are You Fat? Those Are Things That Could Be Really Irritating.

I Think The Thing You're Seeing Now With The Music Industry Is That The People Who Have Tight-knit Communities Are Now Able To Really Hold Each Other Up Because Of The Internet Tools. And The Really Top-down Pyramid Scheme Of Major Labels And Typical Superstars Isn't Sustainable Anymore Because The System Has Collapsed.

I Think One Of The Greatest Gifts You Can Give To Someone Is Just Access To The Possibility Of Freedom That You Don't Have To Be Totally Depressed And Enslaved By Your Own Environment.

There’s No “correct Path” To Becoming A Real Artist. You Might Think You’ll Gain Legitimacy By Going To University, Getting Published, Getting Signed To A Record Label. But It’s All Bullshit, And It’s All In Your Head. You’re An Artist When You Say You Are. And You’re A Good Artist When You Make Somebody Else Experience Or Feel Something Deep Or Unexpected.

I Don't Try To Make Anybody Outside Happy.
