It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

You aren't really writing about what you did; you're writing about how you feel.

A lot of life is about how you feel relating to dealing with this person or that person. If this person makes you feel good, then they're a person to be around; if they don't, they're not. Being in a band is different. The group is the more important part, and you have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with.

I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.

You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time; it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.

I've been playing music most of my life.
