I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.

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

I do not think good art comes from comfort. While from a humanistic standpoint I would have much rather been at my home that I own, surrounded by friends and family and controlling my environment completely.

I approach every show from the same fundamental perspective: this is a conversation, and my job is to make people leave the show feeling like they've seen something singular. It's not about smashing someone over the head from the jump-off.

I'm learning on the guitar all the time.

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

It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
