It is a good thing to let someone else's vision take over, and it has always been a good thing in the end.

I was pretty tough and serious in my 20s.

The hard part was when I went into the studio with co-producer Eric Broucek, and he started slashing my demos. I always sweat that.

Certain people have the eye of the tiger, and I never was myself that kind of person, although I'm not a slacker.

I love the feeling of nostalgia vying with the present. That can be from song to song, or within the same song.

You always want an album to sound like its own little planet.
