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.

Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff - all this bad, stupid stuff - and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.

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

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

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

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

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.
