I have a really hard time connecting to music that doesn't feel like I'm somehow solving a puzzle that applies to my life.

People in the hospital ... call me the wellest man on the ward. That's what's going to sustain me. I have these energy reserves that I somehow can't seem to deplete.

I try not to release songs that I'm not proud of, and even songs that I don't connect with.

The freeway is just like veins without a heart.

You're gonna get thrown curve balls left and right, and that's just the way it goes.
