I'd like to just get to a point where maybe we can say something that will be matterful. That's definitely not a word, by the way.

I kinda like messing with perception a little bit. Kind of what drugs do sometimes, and drinking. I mean, you know, you mess with your mind a little bit to see life from different angles. Within reason, if you can handle it.

The problem with touring isn't the traveling and the shows, it's the vegetal state you get into.

I'm really grateful. But I never had the rock star dream. I thought it would be cool to be a modern-day composer.

If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing.

The best artists are the ones that work the hardest, and if you work hard enough, you'll eventually experience the happy accidents that are art.

Kids are always honest, 'cause they don't think they're ever going to die.
