I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.

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

I made a note in my head to be aware of things as they were happening, because they might not happen again. Up to that point, I was not really that appreciative of what was going on, or thinking about documenting life in a plainspoken manner. I was talking about my life and writing songs, but then I would go back and listen and they were about dreams, and legends, and metaphors and that was just not my life!

I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.

I'm an introspective human being and someone who likes to be alone in a room. The idea of going out and talking to people...there's something appealing about it, but also there's something that feels alien to me, as a cynical Irish man.

I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.

I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.
