To Understand Me, You Have To Meet

Influences Come From Everywhere. I Don't Really Feel Like I Had Too Many Influences For The First Record Because I Grew Up Listening To Music In Church, And That Was Pretty Much It. I Didn't Really Grow Up Listening To Ac/dc And All Those Bands.

I Hate It When People Say I'm Not A True Punk. I Don't Go Around Calling Myself Punk; I Never Have. That's What People Need To Know -- It's Not Me Saying That, It's The Media. I'm A Rocker.

I Definitely Have A Rock Star Lifestyle.

It's Who I Am I Don't Have To Try Hard

Staying True To Yourself And Trusting Your Instincts Is Very Important. I've Learned This Both Through Creating Music, Where I've Always Stayed Focused On Recording Music That Is True To Who I Am And To My Fans, And Through My Recent Health Struggles, Where I Knew Something More Was Going On Than What I Was Hearing From Different Doctors; I Had To Trust Myself And Continue To Pursue A Diagnosis.
