Talking about adversity that I've walked through in my own life or hearing an artist talk about their own adversity makes me feel vulnerable.

I love just going out; long drives, the ocean, my kids, new music, new gear, new plug-ins, coffee, and donuts at four in the morning. Even just waking up and writing.

I've learned that each day is definitely a gift. When my dad died, I made sure I said everything to him. I realized that once he's gone, he's gone. No matter how angry or resentful or whatever.

I believe animals should be respected as citizens of this earth. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life.

Yoga really helped with stress relief and just not hurting myself when I tour. It really was super helpful.

As an artist and a songwriter myself, I like to feel connected to modern culture and watch how sounds change.
