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

I think sitting in the car with your parents and listening to music is an essential to growing up.

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

I have a vision for everything that I make, but... I'm not that considerate about what I do. I do whatever is in my head and how it ends up tends to be the thing that it's supposed to be. It was never a premeditated decision.

I grew up in a place called Malahide, which is by the water and is beautifully quiet, leafy, and part serene.

Life is short. I'm here to make music, I'm not here to sit on a beach. That sounds really boring to me.

I really wanted to get that dynamic on the record onto people and let them know it wasn't just a simple strumming along the guitar type of thing without ramming it down their throats so I kind of went the opposite way and sang some of the songs more quietly which allowed for the louder parts to sound as though there were more. It was the only way singing those songs made sense to me.
