Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

Making the record was tons of fun, the most fun I've ever had.

I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

I don't describe myself as a Christian or religious, but I like to think that how I live my life is honest.

Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.
