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

The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.

I always think its easier for me to write without thinking about the strict meter that's required for songs and song structures and things like that. It's much easier to just write on the page.

I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.

I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record.

I think there's a curiosity that can make you feel anxious as to what the world's going to make of what you're doing. It's not necessarily what you're going to get back in terms of record reviews or how people talk about your record, it's getting on the road and playing the new songs live.

I don't believe every download is a lost sale.
