I can't really write unless I'm full of inspiration. And even then I can't write unless I have some alone time.

Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don't try to dwell on that too much though.

I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.

People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.

I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.

I can write songs, but I'm not gonna really feel good about the song unless it feels like me, and I'm not gonna release a song or put it on an album or play it in concert unless it really feels like me.

When you're young that's when you feel like you can change the world. Then you get older and you buy a house and have kids, and you don't want to be so bold anymore.
