Focus alone is not enough; putting in the time to commit is also crucial to achieve success.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.

I would say, you can never do enough gigs and you can never do enough songs. Make sure that every opportunity you can, play a show and every opportunity you can, write a song.

You have to be burning with "an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right." If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.

You only pass through this life once, you don't come back for an encore.
