Years later, you can hear a song, and it brings you back right to that moment, what was happening at that time, whether it was a relationship or a difficult time, or maybe a great time in your life, and you had that album you were listening to. Twenty years later, you can put on that song you fell in love to or your heart was broken to, and you hear that song and it brings you right back there. I think music is the most powerful tool we have.

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

I had a very modest upbringing.

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.

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

My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.

I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.
