My style when I was 17 was very low-key with jeans, T-shirts, and Converse. I was signed to a major record label by then, so I had stylists helping me.

After we wrote The Wreckoning, our record label did listen.

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

With the Beatles, we'd been very spoiled because we had George Martin who worked for the record label we were going to be signed to. That was very fortunate, because we grew together.

I want to have a publishing company and a record label, and I want to manage five artists... eventually.

We have meetings with our record label to tell them how to market us.
