If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

I see a lot of parents now who are really supporting their kids playing music.

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

I moved from Minnesota out to Los Angeles and I thought I was going to hate it out there, but I really like it.

I think I've just gotten better at learning how to write a song.

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.

Well, I got married about two and a half years ago, and that's been a big change in my life.
