I wanted to make a very cohesive-sounding album. Anyone who has listened to me and brought me into their living rooms and their bedrooms - I am making this for them.

It's very hard for me to say "Do I have favorite?" because I find that each song represents a different sounds different emotions in Andy's [Kim] life. Particularly "Sister OK", 'cos that started everything.

There's nothing better than striving to be a better man.

Being off the road is one of the greatest things ever. It's hard for me to be around my friends who are on the road.

You're not going out there to make a living out of it by selling records. You want acclaim and you want to know people are listening.
