I give my opinion not as being good, but as being my own.
I need advice and opinion-honest opinion. I want to get better. Why go around with blinkers on?
I don't want people who just tell me what they think I want to hear, because that doesn't do me any good.
A lot of people can be cheerleaders for songs and go, 'Oh, that's great,' and they don't think it.
To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.
I just don't believe in the old definition that a fan of music is: I find a band, I listen to all of it and I pretend to like stuff that I don't like. Now if I don't like it, I just go, 'I don't like this.' It's way fairer.
My dad knows great music. So I'm taking music to him to get an opinion rather than praise.
