I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
I'm a big fan of '70s records where artists could draw on whatever influences they wanted.
My dad, we'll be talking about goals for the next year. He's like, 'I think you can be here,' and I look at him like he's cross-eyed, like, 'Are you serious? That's so far out of my reach.' Well, then I always end up achieving it.
