I'm kind of an emotional exhibitionist.

Physically touring is tough on me, not that I am weakling. I lose weight. I can't always find the things I need to keep my strength up. It is very draining physically. It is taxing for my mind and body, but in a good way. It feels healthy in a way to purge things out of my system every night.

My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.

If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed.

I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.

Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field.

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.
