A Lot Of People Pretty Much Only

I Basically Camped Out For A Year And A Half In An Airstream Trailer On The Beach Out In Front Of The Studio. I Had No Idea What I Was Gonna Do, What Kind Of Album I Was Gonna Make - All I Knew Was That I Wanted To Sit There And Just Take In Whatever Came.

The Way I Was Raised And The People That I Grew Up Around For The Most Part Were Very Humble People, And I Appreciate All That They Taught Me, And Their Energy And Their Magnanimity Help Keep Me Grounded.

If I Were White, I'd Get Less Criticism.

It Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Me Motivated. I'm A Studio Rat. When I Was In High School And I Would Walk Into A Recording Studio, It Felt Like This Magical Place, This Temple, This Womb That I Could Escape Into.

When I Stopped Trying To Write Songs, That's When I'm Able To Begin Writing Songs. You Have To Just Use Your Life, And The Things Around You For Your Inspiration.
