When I get compared to artists like Jose Gonzalez or Bon Iver, I can't help but think, "I've been doing this since they were in third grade."

When you get older, you're bothered, or inspired, by other things in life than a girl breaking up with you. Things get heavier as you get older.

Anyone who has toured as long as I have, or who has traveled as extensively, and says that they've never cheated is lying.

I make music to process - because I have to, not for praise or accolades or reactions.

When you're a touring musician, you're always turning over new rocks and there's always a certain level of tension in your life.

I wanted to give my first instincts a chance without shooting them down immediately, which I sometimes do.

I wanted to remind people that there was a time when music required an attention span.
