It was endlessly amusing to me to try to imitate John Lennon and Paul McCartney's harmonies using the guitar.

The South of France is one of my favorite places in the world.

I don't like the way recording to digital sounds.

One of the great things about music is that it has the capability of time travel - you smell a certain smell in the room and it takes you back to your childhood. I feel like music is able to do that, and it happens to me all the time.

I believe in working with songs that have personal value for me.

When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.

I get annoyed with movies or books, songs or records that deliberately try to make you feel a certain way.
