Quotes

“Entertainment is entertainment, it’s supposed to make people happy.” 

“Everybody has a different personality, vision, standard of happiness, dream. Sometimes you can’t expect people to be in the same zone as you.”

“You can’t have everything. So, be sure to be very specific on what you need and what you want in life.”

“In Magic Man, there’s so many different regions and areas in its one universe. There are different sides that show the character’s emotions. Some could be super dark, lonely or just doing nothing, very abstract, standing or sitting still. It’s about the inside me trying to come out, in the dirt.”

“Outside, everyone is relying on me – my team or whatever – like, I have to make things move. Like, who am I relying on? I get home, I look at that light, and I feel like, ‘At least you are welcoming me.’”

“At least every single day I want to live like me. Be honest to myself, be honest to the audience… Just as simple as that, but that just changed me in some way.”

“I was working hard. I was doing what I loved but I wasn’t having fun. I’m a person that if I chill out for a day, I’ll get insecure and anxious because I feel like everyone else is working so hard.” 

“Sometimes I feel sorry to my fans, I want to make them proud. I’m still figuring out how to be better. Even when I fuck up, they’re like, ‘You did a great job’. I feel bad about that. Sometimes my song isn’t the best song in the world, it’s not even good, and if I know that, they must know it. So I get frustrated, like, ‘What the fuck am I doing?’”

“Everyone says, ‘Jackson can make friends with a lot of people’. Well, yes, because every time I meet someone, I open myself up 100%. It’s a gift and a curse.”

“I’m trying to find my happiness, really. It’s just part of my journey before the destination.”

“I’m doing this because I want to make something before I die, to leave something behind. Living on earth is fun and I cherish it but the big picture is my legacy. Every decision I make is based on that. Every step has to be in that direction.” 

“I’m always around business people and sometimes they just care about numbers and that fucks up my mind. Everything I have passion for and believe in I start to question because I’m surrounded by people who will all think about something a certain way and I’m the only person who says no [to it].”

“I always say I’m doing what I love but the hardest part is that there’s so much you can’t do alone.”

“I just want to be an artist who focuses on what they believe in, and kills it.”

“Having fun means doing something that excites you. What excites me is when I write a good song, and when people can relate to it, to me as an artist. That’s my fun now, to try to make a masterpiece.”
