A day off after a show with no agenda in a foreign city is about the most fertile creative situation I can imagine. Just walking with nothing to do, killing time and hearing the sights and sounds of an unfamiliar place.

I really like the sound of analog things where clearly there's something being touched. You can sense that something is handmade. So much with digital, there's a disconnect.

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

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

I've always had levity in my songs, so I like to turn things over, twist them around, and make fun of myself.

When I'm onstage, I'm completely comfortable, and I feel very vital and alive.

I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.
