I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.

I want to talk about things that are tangible and real to me, but I also want to do them in a way that's poetic and artistic.

I really wanted to approach performing live differently than most people who just play guitar and sing.

The idea of trying to predict what people will or won't respond to is risky.

Music is a self-propelling thing. You can not rely on anybody but yourself.

My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.
