If I were to do this over I'd play a lot more shows before I made a record

I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.

But really important, perhaps most important is the craft; how you make your record, the creation of these sonic worlds you want your listener to hear.

Because of my Buddhist practice, I'm never lacking for inspiration

A real foolproof way to do it is play your stuff by hook or by crook and build up a grass roots following

I certainly wouldn't say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I've felt like that

I privilege the music over the lyrics
