If I couldn’t play, I wouldn’t be alive.

Sometimes art is just about getting a reaction, that's really the end-all be-all.

I tend to really like things that are broken, I like the ones that are perfectly imperfect.

Every time I felt the pain coming on I'd go downstairs and hammer out an idea. After a few months I started to take a look at what I was making, I had for the first time in my life written a large grip of songs completely alone and without any expectations or plans of what they would be for.

People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

You can only hold on to something for so long and enjoy it just by yourself, what's the point? It's very selfish. For better or for worse, I feel like the point of all of this is to make someone feel something.
