There's a weird period of learning how to play guitar where your fingers are constantly messed up a handful.

I don't really believe in plans. They only change. My goal is simply to be able to make music and live life in this crazy, falling-apart world.

My favorite superheroes when I was younger were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and they still are. Simply because they rule and you've got 4 different personalities to choose from depending on your mood...And they're huge human-turtles!!

I think every tour stop on the west coast is equally rewarding for me. There is something healing about the air and the light in the west.

When I was 17 I got a guitar for my birthday and started discovering Bob Dylan and James Taylor and the whole '60s thing, and that made me want to make songs, to go beyond just playing an instrument. I needed to write I guess.

Even before I started writing songs, that was one of my goals to be a writer, and I still have that goal. I've just gotten sidetracked.
