I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.

People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.

We waste a lot of our lives sometimes. There are people sitting across from us who would make the whole world better if we spent more time with them in it, but we can't get across that gully.

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

I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.

Time and time again I can't please myself.

I'm really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can't sit there with someone that loves me.
