It's important for us to fight for certain changes that need to happen. And one of those issues that I really care about is education. But also another one is incarceration.

I have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.

​W​e're so used to having everything we want at our fingertips so I think that when things get tough it's ​difficult ​for people to persist through that.

I was a busy kid in high school - a little bit of an overachiever, I guess. Prom king was kind of silly, but the rest of the stuff was important to me.

I just want it to be timeless and timely at the same time.

If I collaborate with people, ideas...they take interesting turns and twists, and I'm excited for that and that process and excited to see what we come up with.

There's a certain confidence that comes with being sure about the way the world works.
