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

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.

I enjoy recording live better, but I think by the nature of it you are going to end up with something that's a little bit more traditional.

Set your guitars and banjos on fire and before you write a song smoke a pack of whiskey and it'll all take care of itself.

I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

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