I've seen quite a bit of the world, but I really like Sweden and feel like I could live there some day.

I finished 'Beautiful Creature,' and I felt somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the songs I left off the album weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

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

I make music and I can't stop. It's a compulsion and an obsession and a curse.

I listen to NPR and baseball games when I'm in my car. I mean, exclusively NPR and baseball games, and that's it, as far as the radio.

I'm able to see humor in a lot of things.

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