I write songs on a course of time that's comfortable for me. I would probably never write a song from start to finish in the course of a day, hell probably not even a week. My mind is always going to change and my emotional state will also change on a daily basis.

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

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

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

You get one chance to make an impression and coasting through is a disservice.

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.

Food in Dublin has gotten immeasurably better than it was. When I was a kid, there weren't a lot of options. Now you're overwhelmed with options.
