I don't make demos. I don't have the interest or the energy or the time.

I'm a boxing junkie, a serial-killer junkie, and a classical guitar junkie. All of these guys are great, poetic references.

I'm 45 and I don't have time to spend two years of my life bringing in producers and dragging the record around the planet.

I've guess I've gotten older and my sex appeal has waned. It's OK. I've got an amazing girlfriend and she keeps me happy.

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

We're all human and life is complicated.

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.
