I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.

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

The most rabidly religious people are the most rabidly evil.

I'm a damaged person, but I have hope and a will to not give up.

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.

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.

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