The real drag is trying to fly from country to country, day of show, with all your gear. You get hassled all the time. It's hard trying to keep it together.

It's not set in stone. I like to keep it rolling and changing, and so I am like, "Great, I get to remake my song."

Honestly, I didn't have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense, but I always liked the kind of big questions.

Guitars are kind of just, you know, sexy, especially old vintage ones.

No, it's not dissatisfaction that inspires me to tinker with my songs, it's just restlessness.

I don't like to disappear between records. I like to play shows while I'm making the record.

My favorite literature to read is fairly dry history. I like the framework, and my imagination can do the rest.
