It's always darkness before the dawn.

A lot of the songs on the new album are about imaginary things, things that you can't touch - ghosts and rumors, my dead grandmother, things visiting you in a dream.

During the songs, you transcend yourself. The best way to be in the performance is to be without pause and be essentially in the moment, in that moment of expression.

I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.

I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.

I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.

My style of playing is more enthusiasm and instinct than skill.
