With all the things that you could be, you never could learn how to be me.

Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.

I use my cell phone as much as I can - I talk to friends all the time. I'm like 2,000 hours a month. It's crazy

I think people are always nostalgic for a time about 20 years before they were born.

I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.

When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.

I don't think I can tell any stories about how I lived in a van in Alaska. I grew up in the suburbs, I even had my own room. We weren't poor. Everything was very normal.
