Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip.

I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.

Everything about the music industry takes away from you as an artist. They're always wondering what the next thing is: 'What do you have?' It's a very introverted process.

My whole back's tattooed. I just wanted a twist. I was always in punk bands when I was little I think that's where the tie comes from.

I think you need to do something new to keep reinventing yourself.

It's always performing for me. I write and I record so I can perform. It all ties to that. I've done it since I was a little kid. That's my absolute rush, is playing for different people every night, bringing something else to the table they've never seen.

And happiness has it's own way of taking its sweet time.
