I hate my voice. I've never been comfortable singing.

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

This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.

I've always littered my songs with jokes. You might need to dig a little deeper to find the humor, but I would totally object to being some kind of distraught personality. I've never tried to attach myself to that.

It's not my way to talk about my feelings. They're impudent to myself, so it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to explain them to anyone else. I've never been to therapy - not interested in it.

When you're playing festivals, you only get a half-hour. It's like a meat market. You don't get to be artistic. You don't get to play music. It's called a showcase for a reason.

I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.
