And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.

I feel like I'd like to continue putting out records and start putting them out more rapidly than I have until now and for me if I can keep selling the records to the fans that already like me that's fine.

I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead

I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.

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.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

I don't have an extensive background in theory, but the amount of it that I've learned, I've applied, so I have a vocabulary of melodic and rhythmic relationships. And that's all theory is - it's symbols to help you identify those relationships.
