Quotes

"The one thing that always stayed with me, even after things got very dark, was the music and it helped me through. When I started to learn how to play the guitar I never had the desire to learn anyone else’s songs. I started singing when I was ten. I always wrote what I wanted to write. It saved my life. I was going down hill and music brought me back. And I am not saying I am a saint now – I have my ups and downs – but if it weren’t for music I probably wouldn’t be here."

"45 is basically about the day that you wake up and you look at yourself in the mirror and you finally decide that you want to try to become comfortable in your own skin, and realize that you’re gonna have to make yourself happy before you’re going to make anyone else happy. And basically, the 45 isn’t an actual literal term for a gun, I used it as a metaphor for the world, the 45 is actually the world and what it hands you every day of your life. When you get up, it’s a gift to be alive to begin with."
