The more you release records, in some ways it takes pressure off you.

If we enjoy what we're doing, we shouldn't really need a break. It's fun for us to play music. It's our livelihood, but I don't look at it as a job. It doesn't seem to me to be a problem to constantly be doing this.

In the end, when you're writing a really good song, it strikes the right tone.

Ironically, when I was playing in my first band, I would deliberately not write down any lyrics. I have a really good memory and I would just keep them in my head.

People make maps of all the places I've mentioned. I knew that those people were out there. I wanted to create something for them.

I've tried to write songs for other people and it usually requires them singing it and then changing the phrasing. I can put a lot of words in a song, and one of the reasons is, I'm not that good of a singer, so I don't hold a lot of notes.

You can't get every girl; you get the ones you love the best.
