I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.
When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later.
For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.
When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.
I know so many songs. I'm like a walking karaoke torture machine.
The best songs I write in 20 minutes.
