Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

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.

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?

My songs are about not knowing who to be and not knowing how to act.

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

My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it's hard to make a story out of it.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.
