I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'

I'm trying everything I can not to be jaded 'cause I don't like jaded musicians.

In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization. It's the promise of walking into a room with a guitar and not being sure you will leave with an idea that will take, not being sure it won't slip away from you.

So scared of getting older I'm only good at being young So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun.

I need to learn how to start saying no. Like when someone says ‘please stop choking me.’

I want to be the first guy from my generation who doesn't just represent one record but the promise of a lot of them.

I feel my shows are like a late-night talk show that we settle down and do every night.
