It's very expensive to bring a band to New York.

The distance thing is partially due to the fact that I'm pretty shy and I've struggled with extreme stage fright in the past. So I just have to go onstage in a different head space so I'm not as self-aware.

I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.

Billboard called my solo album, 'Standing In The Spotlight,' a great party album and even said that my raps put the Beastie Boys to shame.

I haven't done rap... I can't do that too well.

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

I just being able to write songs I'm proud of and finding some women to play with is exciting.
