Sometimes to get in the "musical mood," I'll just turn on music really loud, or go drive around and listen to music, or learn a song that I really like on guitar or piano. That gets me in the right frame of mind to proceed.

It's cool because you don't know how certain songs are going to go over until you play them live. For some reason, "Shivers" gets a huge response. I was not expecting it. When I start singing in the middle of "Baby Get Worse", they go nuts. Just little surprises like that.

It's hard being the guy that brings in a song, because you're very, you know, it can be something that you get too sensitive about.

You definitely get more of a band feel to a song if you've been playing a song live a bunch.

I guess if we do enough shows and keep doing it long enough, then people will get the picture. But I can't really be bothered if they don't get the picture. That's not my concern.

I love not being in charge of writing all the songs, and being the front person - the whole thing is cool.

I sometimes feel like I need to pinch myself. I feel extremely fortunate.
