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.

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

There's people who think what they need and what they deserve in their lives is a lot worse than what they actually do, so they get themselves involved in things that are needlessly painful: brutal relationships, abusive relationships.

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.

For all the things I'm losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.

When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.

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