I Think I Look Better In Darker

I Really Wanted It To Be Organic And Coming From My Heart. So, I Think Maybe The Initial Thought Of Wanting To Go In That Direction, I Had To Wait Until Things Happened In Our World And In Our Country That Fired Me Up Enough Where The Words Came Out Organically.

The Thing I Get Out Of It Is The Connection. I Remember Going To Shows As A Kid And Meeting Eyes With The People In The Band, And Knowing They Are Meeting Eyes With You, And That Moment, That Smile, And That's Your Moment. I Want To Create Millions Of Little Moments For Other People.

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?'

I Remember Times When I Was At Shows And The Person Onstage Locked Eyes With Me. And In That Moment, Everything Was Right With The World. I Think That's Part Of My Job, To Create These Thousands Of Moments Every Night. And For The Rest Of Their Life, They Can Say, 'you Guys Looked At Me,' Or 'you Sweated On Me,' Or 'i Got Your Gum.'

Success Isn't One Straight Line - It's A Ladder, And There's Always Another Rung Above You To Reach Out For. Like Anything Else, There Are Ups And Downs.
