A lot of what you do is about how you look. You're a good-looking guy who plays music, and you can't do anything about what happens because of that. If people say, "He's cute. I'm going to go buy his album," hopefully they'll like the music, too.

I was hanging out with Jonathan Richman last night.

I know so many songs. I'm like a walking karaoke torture machine.

I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.

My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content.
