I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.

Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.

Musicians wake up and create a more loving community by creating heavier music.

I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.

I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.

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