I think good music makes you feel free, and if people feel free when they come to a show or listen to my music, that would mean the world to me.

I find it a lot healthier for me to be someplace where I can go outside in my bare feet.

All it really needed was the proper point of view. No one's gonna bring me down.

A song is what you fall in love with first, but then I think a band's ideals and a band's sense of fashion and a sense of how they treat people is what you fall in love with afterwards.

If you're an addict, it controls your life and your life becomes uncontrollable. It's boring and painful, filling your system with something that makes you stare at your shoes for six hours.

I'm trying to look at my blessings and how amazingly well against all odds things have turned out for me.

I don't find the songs; they find me. I just strum my guitar and wait for a lyric to come.
