If your writing is good, if it resonates, if it connects the dots for anybody out there, the lovers will come, the haters will come, support will come — sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of something less expected — and it balances.

I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.

I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.

For most of human history, musicians, artists, they've been part of the community — connectors and openers, not untouchable stars.

When you connect with people, they want to help you.

Nobody ever sees me. Thank you.

You tour and you work hard and you take care of your fans and very real things lead to other real things. There's never been some fantastic fluke or break in my career, it has all been very slow and steady.
