I've experienced more sunrises with my bandmates and friends out on the road than with my wife, because we're always up at these strange times in the mornings trying to catch a plane.

Music has always been a location for me to run to, whether it's through someone else's song or my own. I can observe my own planet from this foreign land and things make sense within the telescopic lens of song.

The biggest problem facing our world today is a lack of hope and a lack of meaning. [It's] basically just a postmodern world in which there is no right or wrong, no better or worse.

Music will always be judged by our subjective ears.

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

Eventually everything fails me, but when I look at the sunset or the sky, I'm reminded what it's like to be alive.
