One of the things you do in a band is the more you stay together, the more you play to your strengths.

Being on a microphone nightly has made me better at what I do, made me better able to sing a little bit, but also more confident at trying it.

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.

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

I think the biggest thing - and this I think is true of songs but also of movies and books and art in general - is when you have this moment where you hear a song or whatever and you say, "Hey, I've felt that exact way as a human being," and there's no easy way to describe it.

My style of lyric-writing is very specific and has a lot of details, and I think people react most to that.
