I think people listen to whatever they think is good.

I break my back for music because it's something that I love, but I'm not going to break my back for a bank. I wouldn't want to be an ATM repairman; there are some things that just aren't worth it.

I hate that sense of entitlement or the sense of business crawling into playing music.

Sometimes you've got to draw a line between having all the options and being a slave to the things, using them every time you play the guitar. I'm trying to keep a real inconsistency to the pedals so that it is something new every time.

I got into guitar because no parent will buy their eight-year-old kid drums, unless they're divorced and trying to get back at their wife.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I don't mind saying what's on my mind.
