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.

Losing fights, or even winning fights, can be heartbreaking, and you can throw that away, but the truth is that it does make our lives better.

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.

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

You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.

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 think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
