There's no way to replicate a really great vocal sometimes.

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

I don't wanna keep playing the same song over and over again. It's just thinking about "what's going to be the coolest thing to play on this particular show?" The easiest thing to do is to play the single over and over again.

Sometimes it's hard to hear criticism, or "maybe let's try a different way." People's feelings get hurt.

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

I don't even think about having a "rock-star profile." But sure, I always think, "Wouldn't it be great to have your friends along for the ride?" I just feel like me, you know? I've always been me, and I feel like the same guy. It surprises me when people expect me to be anything other than just a dude. I'm just a dude.

My problem was never with the major label, it was with the guy who we put our trust in and then wouldn't take my phone calls once we'd signed to a major label, who then quit.
