Royalties are not how most writers or musicians make their living. Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales.
I'm really in touch with my fans. Through their emails, letters and stories is how I decide what music I'm going to perform.
The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.
My goals are to tell meaningful stories through songs and touch people's lives... and hopefully make a living doing it.
I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.
I think I'm a living embodiment of, 'Don't try to push me around or squash me,' whether its how I talk to a record label or in my relationships.
I have no experience performing that music live in front of an audience. So that remains to be seen. I'm very excited to see what that's going to be like.
For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.
I have adopted an 80/20 rule when it comes to my delicate relationship with food: 80 percent of the time, I make good choices; 20 percent of the time, I let myself splurge a little.
