Only dumb people are happy.

Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.

The past is part of the present, is part of the future, it's all part of being an artist. You cannot be something that you're not when you're not that thing anymore, and if you do that then you're a liar.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.

Remember, if you write anything nasty about me, I'll come around and blow up your toilet.

I never expected I would be connected to the Alpha male as some kind of ancillary object and to this day it mystifies me.
