I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.

In Scotland, beautiful as it is, it was always raining. Even when it wasn't raining, it was about to rain, or had just rained. It's a very angry sky.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.
