It's just satisfying for me to be able to write kind of like a finished, nice product.

I've been in fortunate position of never really having to battle with my record company to do the things I wanted to do in the studio.

Sometimes I'll get a burst when I write lyrics, it usually happens in 20 minutes and I'll write the whole song, and that's really the only way it feels comfortable.

I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

I always knew I wanted to be a musician.

I think my favorite thing is the mystery of life - it makes you feel that much better about accomplishing something.
