I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.

When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.

Society, magazines, posters, music videos, investment bankers. A lot of times, in my past anyway, looking within wasn't overly encouraged. Pretty much everybody proclaimed that fame would give me power and fortune.

Running has made being depressed impossible. If I'm going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I'll come back with clarity.

With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
