I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.

Even if my songs are a bit low-spirited, they make me happy. I become happy when I hear sad songs. When you sing about sad things in a beautiful way, the atmosphere turns upside down

I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.

Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.
