Most of the time, the creative part is like playing in a sandbox. I can sit here and work for 12 hours and not get tired of it.

I just love music, so that's what I'm always working on, and I try to say yes a lot. Maybe I'm more ambitious than I thought I was.

When I moved to New York in my 20s, I didn't have an obnoxious ego, but it was huge! I'll thought, "I'll never die and I can do anything."

I tend to work on a song, generate ideas, and re-arrange it like five times, and I'm glad I take the time to do that, because I think my original songs come out better.

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

I went through a furnace and came out knowing who I am.

It was definitely in my mind to do a solo album, but I didn't know it would take this long.
