Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

I don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.

I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.

You can't just explain a joke. Either it isn't funny, or the person just totally missed the punchline.

I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.
