There's also this weirdness to California, this darkness, it's a place where people come to follow their dreams and sometimes don't make it.

Play music that means something to you. Make it happen for yourself.

I feel like anyone can be a kid forever as long as you have that mindset and attitude towards the world.

Make yourself look really stupid so you don't feel bad doing something a little stupid.

The collectability of music is something lost in the age of MP3s and album downloads. Holding an album in your hands and having the full-sized artwork reconnects the artist and the listener.

I kinda like the duality of California and the dark side, the underbelly of California, and I think that's what this album ['California']feels like - there's endless hope and optimism but there's also a darker side.

I hate it when people try to act cool. I hope they all get gonorreah and die.
