Sometimes I just think we're not meant to fly halfway around the world in a day. That some kind of mutation is going to happen.

The way I work, I'm not a confessional singer-songwriter.

Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all

Every time I make a record, it's kind of like scarification or something. You work 15 hours until you're stupid. You're just kind of all jittery.

With the words, a lot of things start with questions. Some word kind of piques my interest, and I love the way it sounds, but I really don't know what it means. And I honestly don't care for a while.

I still play solo shows. And some of those shows are still some of the best, most gratifying shows.

The weirdest time is when I'm having to explain myself all day to journalists, and then I don't perform, so there's no release, just a lot of self-consciousness. Then what do you do with that at the end of the day? How do you release your brain from talking about yourself all day?
