People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.
I'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.
People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.
Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.
My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true.
