If every human being disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant, the earth would still keep spinning and the planet would develop new life forms.

I mean, there's times to rock and roll, and I love that too. But I think my first love is acoustic music.

I don't shoot kittens with balls of wool. I don't shoot sunsets. What draws me? Ironic, surreal, unexplained, timely moments.

Teach your children well, so they don't live in off-campus group houses and throw loud parties while I'm trying to sleep.

There are always new things to experience, internalize then write about. This process is ongoing with me. It never stops. The opportunity to reach new audiences with all of the music that we have made is thrilling.

I only do solo albums when songs are screaming at me to be let out of my mind.

After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it.
