When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.

My wife, if she wants it, she will just go out and buy it.

What I do doesn't sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don't have a cool card, but I also don't have thin skin.

I did exactly what I wanted to do. It was always my intention to put a band together and be a band and not be about the solo pop guy. That was never me. All of the musicians that made me do what I wanted to do were bands. I didn't see it any other way.

Maybe some people thought I was 'safe' so they didn't really bothered to vote for me at all.

I don't want to say I can't wait to get back to normal life, because I don't. I don't want to get back to normal life.

I do belong on stage.
