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'm not a very good advice-giver.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

I've always been in this sort of perpetual state of existential longing. I feel like something's missing.

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

I love 'Crazy Horse,' and Neil Young is one of my favorite guitar players.

Although I'm a huge fan of Ben Kweller, I don't think I'd cover one of his songs, simply because there's just so much of my own stuff I wanna do.
