Demos are something you do in the early stages of your career, but when you get going, you just go in and record the song.

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

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.

Songs are puzzles - you get an intro, or maybe an end, but you gotta fill in the rest. Sometimes they come easy and sometimes they're a pain in the ass.

I'm always moving forward creatively and don't like stalling, trying to find the perfect snare drum sound.

Nylon string is still a new love and I'm not tired of it yet.

There were a lot more girls at the shows early on. I'd get off stage and there would be options. Those days are long gone, thank god.
