When I'm sleeping I do a lot of living.

I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. What we're trying to do is play rock 'n' roll, but other people call it different things.

The world today is the same as it always was but people know more about what's going on in the world than they used to.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

I'm doing exactly what I want to do, and I'm having fun doing it.

My father was a Norwegian tenor and my mother a New York Irish librarian.

A lot of stuff I do, 10 years later it becomes popular.
