I get so many ideas for songs, but I'm so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.

I draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that's where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is.

I maintain couchsurfing and crowdsurfing are basically the same thing — you're falling into the audience and you're trusting each other.

Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.

Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.

When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that’s when the darkness takes over.

The key is to just focus on the spots where the love is real, because you can just drive yourself crazy focusing on the negativity, focusing on the relationships that are irreparable and just aren't going to work, trying to convince the haters that you are indeed lovable. So much of that is wasted energy.
