Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.

People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.

Sometimes I have songs born out of stories.

As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.

I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.

The ones that work out really and ones that become something to the audience, those are the most important people.

Life is magical and I guess my thing is I wish that people wanted that magic.
