I learned how to have a little bit of distance when I explained songs and a little bit of distance when I wrote them. I think this is more interesting any way in art.

I always write from rhythm first, so if I need a song fast, I have to start there. Then I just threw some electric guitar at it.

So many policy decisions that effect musicians are being made without any input from musicians at all.

As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.

I am really pleased to hear each of my songs described as a total surprise. This is what I want!

The only really weird part for me was making sense of the person on the TV at the same time as the person who I am friendly with and do something so friend-intimate with as text.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.
