What's great about going on tour is that it immediately unburdens me of those self-centered misconceptions. Because suddenly, with these songs you've been obsessed with for months, you're playing them for hundreds of people.

I've learned it's a human responsibility to create fun, not just wait for it.

It's very heartening to see people who I used to do music with still doing it.

I guess a lot of bands play around until they come up with something they like.

I'm a rock-and-roll drummer, so my job is to create chaos.

I have music in my head; I can't help it. You can put a gun to my head and it's not going to go away. The privilege is that I'm not being prevented from following that.

It's weird to me to even say, "I wrote this song." I never feel like I wrote it; I feel like I heard it.
