I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes.
I'm a big fan of Die Antwoord, which is a different style than I normally listen to.
I don't like guys who overdress. And I don't like guys who try too hard.
I don't leave the house without thinking of how to represent myself.
The Beatles did everything first, and they did it the best.
Switching the public's perception and view of me was, and still is, kind of a challenge to get them to see me outside of a character that I played on TV for so long.
The goal as a musician, I think, is to be able to make music as a living for the rest of your life.
I'm not happy if I'm not making music; it's as simple as that. It's a need.
It takes isolation and solitude for me to write.
I've been writing songs since I was a wee child.
You write a lot of bad songs before you write good ones. It takes time!
When I realized I could actually make my decisions, it was a very strange feeling. It's like a switch went off in my brain, like, "Oh, then why am I doing this? I don't enjoy this, so I'm just gonna stop doing this."
This is my life, and I want to live it and enjoy it if I can.
The music was always the thing that has been in our world.
