I have a habit of recording records very quickly - and not in a haphazardly way, not in a way where I'm not focused on details, because I'm a freak when it comes to that.

It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great.

But I've consistently worked for 10 years.

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.

Because I'm such a studio guy, I really trust my process. I really believe in myself in the studio.

we live; we feel; we hurt. the world makes no exceptions.

My tendency is to be the guy in the back, even though I often end up being the guy in the front.
