A Lot Of People Would Say "well That's Not A Bad Reputation. You Sound Like A Pussy" And I Would Say Yea. But I Am Passionate About Music And Being Taken Seriously About My Music, So If You're Going To Mess With That, We Have A Problem.

I Think The Media Has Got Into This Enquirer Mentality. Years Ago, Legitimate Press Didn't Really Concern Itself With Sordid Details Of People's Personal Lives. That Wasn't The Focus. But Also A Lot Of Celebrities Were Bullied Into Revealing This Breakup Or Tragedy Or Divorce Or Problem. They Started To Talk About It And The Press Just Started To Talk About People's Private Lives. That Just Seems To Be The Norm.

If You Are Gonna Live Your Life, Just Try To Not Be Crazy, Have Fun But Have Some Focus And Some Purpose And Try To Know What That Is. If You Don't Know Now, Try To Figure It Out.

I Think The One-on-one Gigs Connecting With The Fans - Is The Most Important Thing. That Will Help Build Your Fan Base. They'll Talk About You, And Word Spreads. Those Things Are Just As Important As Knowing How To Play An E Chord.

Performance-wise, You Really Need To Be Down In The Trenches; You Need To Do The Hard Work, For A Lot Of Reasons: To Build Yourself As A Performer, To Get A Sense Of The Audience, To Work Hard And To Wonder, 'do I Really Want To Do This?'
