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

A lot of my past is gone from my mind.

I tend to fall for the archetypal, talented, charismatic rock boy.

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.

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

As long as there are religions, there are going to be people who are hiding their rottenness behind the veil of religion.

I don't buy a lot when I travel, but when I do, I like to send gifts from wherever I am. It's fun to find the local post office.
