You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, "It's the end of music." "This guy is a total hack." I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.

I think there's always room to grow.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

A lot of times people have issues with me because they don't understand where I'm coming from and haven't seen the years and years of hard work and shows I've played.

My dad's been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors.
