So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

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

All I know is that the six months when I recorded this music was the most productive time of my life, and I'll always remember it as the first time in my life that I ever felt like I was one with my dreams.

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

I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

I don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal
