Dead men always have the last laugh. They win. They're dead. You can't hurt their feelings anymore.

This is a transitory world, we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it, and holding on. Even if it's a moment it's true love, true love doesn't mean that it goes on for eternity. Eternity is a terrible concept.

I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.

I don't really write for an album. I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me. It's all a complete accident.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

I don't like going to the studio. It just seems too cold. There's no crowd to react to, or share anything with; it's just talking into a microphone that's going into a computer.

People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.
