I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.

I don't know if I have any real aspirations to be an actor. It was just something I was asked to do in sort of a friend way. And I thought, Why not?

For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.

I've been used for writing rhythm guitar chords for a long time because it's so easy to play and chords just sound good on it.

Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.

When I go on a nostalgia trip it's not aesthetic. For me it's about trying to recapture the smell or the feeling of something that I've experienced in the past personally.

Sometimes, I do have something to say, so I'll sit there and I'll write a song to someone - and then I just throw it away because it makes me cringe.
