It's like you don't know you're making a record unless you're half-killing yourself.

I don't like super-descriptive modern fiction. I like, "Here's what was happening in 1582 all over the planet." Then that gets my imagination going.

I think I'm still a little too intense for my own good sometimes.

The first notes I still play when I start a sound check are classical. Those are my roots.

The earth almost looks like it's packed down and dense from so many feet treading over it.

I just pay attention to what's in my head. That's my number-one rule.

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