There were no rules. There's no guide to follow. I would just trust my instincts for some unknown reason. Something inside me would say, "This guitar is not loud enough," and I wouldn't know why. You never know how to reach that point until you've reached it.

It's a great privilege to be able to play that much. When you play a lot, you can be really detail-oriented.

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.

When we play, every day is different. All three of my bandmates surprise me all the time.

Usually if someone starts making universal claims, I tune right on out.

I'm against American corporations buying politicians to remove limits to greed, capitalizing on other people's misery, actively creating misery on which to capitalize, "financializing" every moment of our enslaved lives. Then when China or somebody takes over, then it will be [them] doing those things that I'll be against.

When I'm playing best, I'm just thinking about the music, just interacting with what my bandmates are playing.
