I actually got to write with one of my musical heroes, a guy named Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace. I got to sit down and write some songs with him, and that was pretty heavy. I listened to Our Lady Peace growing up. It got me through the teenage angst.

I never want to play a show where it feels overly programmed, processed, and all that. For anybody that comes to one of our shows, the goal for me is to make sure that's their show. That nobody else is going to see that show ever again. You know what I mean? I try to make it different every day.

The further you go on the show, the larger the budget gets. But in the beginning they were just like, "Here's a hundred bucks in L.A. Good luck."

I'm competitive to a fault, so of course every week I'm just like, "I want to win, I want to do great."

Alcoholism is a well documented pathological reaction to unresolved grief.

I live for Tuesdays, and die by Wednesdays.

Enjoy the experience, don't just experience the experience
