I'm a very vicious critic of myself.

I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless, and there's less of an internal critic.

Oh, man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke or drink to reason with my head.

I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.

A dream is a massive magic trick of the mind. No amount of science could explain away the mysterious wonder.

The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.
