I write a lot of material you've never heard that live inside my sadness. You'll hear a song that lasts six to seven minutes of just beautiful sadness. But I can't just go out on the stage to ask five thousand people to be sad with me for seven straight minutes.

Everything in life influences my music. I've always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.

If you have nothing but love for your avocados, and you take joy in turning them into guacamole, all you need is someone to share it with.

The studio and road both have their charms. The studio allows me to be a mad scientist and the tour lets me feel like James Bond.

Well, I've been happily supporting myself for ten years now on the hustle and trade of live entertainment. I guess my breakthrough moment was when I decided to go for it once and for all.

I do feel most at home playing live, but the feeling of getting into the studio to see the new songs take shape was really incredible.

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again
