I always want to talk about real life, not about material possessions. I've got to tell the story of the people for the people and not for celebrity or fame.

Anywhere you go, where people are at the bottom, we've all got the same outlook on life and want to strive for more.

I don't wanna ever make jingles. I wanna do something that changes people's opinions and provokes thought and makes them think about how they should live their life and how they can better themselves and empower themselves.

Life shouldn't be something that's draining and long.

I spend my life around people that are, like, bad people, if you want, and then deep down they're not. It's just the circumstances they've been given. A majority of people that are standoffish, it's because they lack the feeling that they're connecting to anything or that there's opportunity for them to get anything.

I get knighted in the school of life. Like Braveheart.

Spend time in your head and figure yourself out. Start taking note of all the things you do that you don't like, and then you're more conscious of it, and you learn.

I can find the worst thing in the world funny. My humour is dark. If I'm talking about the worst situations in my life, it's like a comedy - you can laugh at my pain.

I want to play guitar, piano, drums, write songs for other people. I can do punk - I can do indie - but as long as it has my voice, it'll always be my sound.

I always felt just that I didn't fit into certain groups.

Take everything that's bad in your life and look at the positive within it. Don't ever see your glass as half-empty.

If you don't embrace the bad, you can never truly embrace the good and be grateful and have gratitude for the tiniest things.
