I'm first and foremost a guitar player. I've been playing since I was 12, which is over half of my life.

Everybody's got a dark side, but mine doesn't include being around people who are mean.

I wouldn't say I'm a very technical [guitar] player. I'm more intuitive - it's always more about chasing an abstraction.

Checking voicemail is like, "When's the other shoe going to drop?" I'm always afraid it's going to be terrible news I don't want to hear.

I think one thing people forget is that every technological advance we fetishize had its place in time.

There's always something extremely personal in the songs, but I may change the point of view from what I actually experienced.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.
