It's a really good time for California right now in music.

Just wearing all black comes from Johnny Cash. I'm on the road so much that if I wear all black my clothes never get dirty. You can't tell if I've worn the same shirt twice.

When you're choosing the track list and the sequencing, it's important to make sure that there's some strong concepts on there and that it matters and it says something... that it sticks with people.

I've put myself in this position where I haven't set myself up with a Plan B. I don't have a safety net; it's all in.

It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

I just want to make music that matters, that people will remember for a long time.
