Final Destination was the closest thing I’ve done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.

I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence.

When I was a teen, I thought I would have to choose between my writing or my music or my art, but it turns out it’s a difficult juggling game but I can do all of them.

This generation has given up on growth. They’re just hoping for survival.

I progressed through so many different styles of music through my teen years, both as a player and a vocalist, particularly the jazz and pop of the early 20th Century.
