I mean, Manhattan is cool. But weird parts, I like that. Jamaica, Queens, that's great.

I never liked living in Montreal. And I don't really like the music scene there. It was never my cup of tea, and I never felt like I ever fit in.

I think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.

Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.

Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.

My music is kind of laid back, it doesn't have super crispy, shiny production, and I'm not singing my heart out or whatever. But that whole idea of blogs declaring: "this is the new denomination for this sound" is ridiculous to me.

It's so crazy with the Internet and being able to play shows to people who are actually interested in you. I feel so lucky when that happens.
