If someone uses the amount of time I spend in the public eye as criteria for what my music could possibly mean to them, they probably should take a long, hard look in the mirror and figure out why they need to think they're so special. Because I don't think anybody is that special.

Internet is radio for a lot of people. It's a place to get music and hear music, and no amount of clamping down will change that.

Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.

I have always thought it was important to maintain some connection for myself to what it takes to make a song work by myself, to put a song across to an audience by myself.

I think the songs are more about relationships that are endless.

Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

My highest aspirations as a songwriter are that people would sing my songs or know songs I've written sometime in as far into the future as I feel comfortable seeing.
