I've never been healthier. I haven't had a cigarette in two years. I run four or five miles, four or five times a week. I've been healthy and having a really good time.

All my lies are only wishes / I know I would die if I could come back new.

I really enjoy playing solo acoustic. I think it's good for me as a songwriter to stay in touch with what it takes to make a song work by yourself.

It's hard for people to see how they can change how dismal things look, but there are still wonderful things to sing about. Music is the only way we are capable of talking about the most important things.

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

When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.

For the most part I stand by all of records. I just always like the one I've done most recently the best and I think that's the whole point.
