My guitar playing has not developed as much as I think it could because I never practice. I only play when I'm writing or recording or when I'm playing on tour. When I'm sitting around at home, I never play.

I don't believe songs that try to say everything in a simple slogan.

I was just dying to get out of my twenties.

I like visiting LA, but I wouldn't want to live there.

I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I'm still playing places for kids.

Every song brings back memories, like I remember where I wrote all these songs. 'Universal Heartbeat' was my apartment in New York City. 'My Sister' was at my apartment in Boston. I remember places and I remember what I was thinking when I wrote it.

If you do things when you're burned out, it'll make you bitter.
