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.

All I really care about is that I'm being honest and I'm real and I'm coming from a real place.

I write about my life and the lives of people around me and situations, and the idea's for each record to try to make you a better person, to understand the life that you lead more.

After all, nothing helps to write lyrics more than to mess around with the language.

I've been playing live gigs since I was 13. I really don't know how to do anything else, and please God strike me down.

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