Expectations Are An Evil Thing.

I Lived In A Cabin In The Woods In Oregon, And I'd Basically Given Up On The Music Industry For An Indefinite Amount Of Time. And While I Was Out There, I Came Up With A Very Specific Vision Of What I Wanted My Music To Sound Like.

But Do You Ever Think Of Me, When You Lie? Lie Down In Your Bed, Your Bed Of Lies.

I Have A Tattoo On My Foot That Says 'it's A Whale' In Japanese, Because Japanese People Kill Whales. My Stuffed Whale Was Like Most Children's Teddy Bear. I Took It With Me Everywhere. I Slept With It. I Couldn't Live Without My Whale.

Your Personal Life, Your Professional Life, And Your Creative Life Are All Intertwined. I Went Through A Few Very Difficult Years Where I Felt Like A Failure. But It Was Actually Really Important For Me To Go Through That. Struggle, For Me, Is The Most Inspirational Thing In The World At The End Of The Day - As Long As You Treat It That Way.

One Of My Biggest Problems Is I Get Bored Too Easily, And I Like To Experiment Too Much, To The Point Where I Confuse Myself And I Confuse My Fans.
