I think these days, new artists have a tendency to try to cut corners.
I'm just a student at all of this. I'm not trying to teach anyone, ... In an educational system all students are supposed to be equal. I'm just trying to be an equal.
I was lucky that way. I always held on to it and appreciated it, ... The songs on this album were more personal and I really wanted to sing them.
In Buddhism, they say attachment to anything only leads to suffering. So when we laugh, it's our way of saying, 'I'm unattached to that.' You're tickled by it, it makes your lobes do something on their own. So humor is very important to me. I always take that to the stage first.

A lot of those ideal towns are all starting to look the same, the specifics are starting to disappear. So we need to retain a love for life, a love for one's family, a love for where one's really from.
The internet is awesome and responsible for my success.
