When I first started making music, I didn't really know what I was doing. I just wanted to write songs. I didn't have a concept. I didn't think it through. I was just flailing around doing what comes naturally. It took me a really long time to step back and deal with what I was doing with any kind of perspective or self-awareness.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

Popular culture is filled with girls.

The whole thing about rock music, pop music, is it's really for kids.

Motivation is just this potion to create stuff, a compulsion to express the truth of my own experiences in this life.

In this world, where everything happens so fast, it's hard to sit back, take the time and contemplate.

Doing interviews can sometimes mess up my head. It makes me feel dirty. It's frustrating how the press recycles a quote to death.
