I'm able to draw outside my own personal experiences. No one wants to hear the song about what I really did today, which is go get coffee and clean my apartment.

I think making the songs is to put strength in the community in some way.

I don't have a problem rhyming "bar" with "car" - I do it all the time - but sometimes it doesn't feel right.

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

When you get into rock 'n' roll myths, like that Rod Stewart blew his whole band and had to get his stomach pumped, it's ridiculous, but everyone's heard it.

I'm not a horror movie guy, but I think the guy that did Saw, or maybe House or something, he was saying you love that age as a storyteller because a nineteen-year-old is still dumb enough to make really bad decisions, but he's allowed to be out on his own.

My wife is very happy about me keeping all my music in my pocket.
