The years keep going by and you realize, Wow. Doing these records is such a process: going on tour for a year and a half, then you get home and you want to do other things.

I've personally reached the point where the sound of MP3s are so uncompelling, because so much is lost in translation.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

You can't write if you can't relate.

I'm more critical of my songwriting than anybody, but I've worked really hard in the last five to 10 years to improve.

I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

With my own music, I try to get away from things that are familiar and things that would be easy for me to go to.
