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

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

"The Moderately Talented..." is just a commentary on the conflict that happens when a young artist girl looks up to you, but you're attracted to them in a different way than they are to you.

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.

We're all human and life is complicated.

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

You really think all of those indie music dorks go to SXSW every year to check out music? They go there to wear their laminates and act important and try to get laid.
