It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.

I'm just being myself. I'm not a very complex guy; I'm not a very studious, crazy intellectual guy. I'm just a guy.

Usually when festivals are really huge it's kind of weird. It's totally fun for me and my band to play in front of a crowd that doesn't necessarily know who we are, but festivals get pretty impersonal when they get super large.

Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.

I'm not really good at writing sad sappy ballads. In terms of the lyrics not matching the vibe of the music, that's kind of the way my career has gone; everyone is a little confused about it all the time.

I like a lot of west coast stuff like Aerial Pink.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.
