When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.

I have a lyric journal that I write in a lot. When I’m going to play, I just sit down and have my books with me and my notes and tapes and whatever I need to refer to. I just play and try different things. It’s a kind of discipline.

The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens, like I see an amazing animal like a fox, or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.

If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.

Your actions will follow you full circle round,the higher the leap, I said, the harder the ground!

I don't typically work that late into the night in a studio, I'm more productive during the day.

Your perspective probably depends on where you live.
