I play in a lot of empty rooms.

I tend to write, either myself, or I sometimes write with a co-writer, my friend that lives up the road. It's usually a relatively solitary thing, but I do like coming up with ideas.

You don't want to get worse at something.

Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.

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

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.

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.
