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

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 feel like when the songwriting slows, I'd love to help others with their records. If it's something I really believe in, it's worth the effort.

Throughout my life, there's just periods when I write and periods when I don't. I don't feel like anything's really blocked. "Writer's block" sounds so dramatic and worrisome, and I don't worry about it. I know deep down that I'm a writer, and it's just a matter of time until it comes back, and when it does, it'll be good like it's always been.

Trying to cope with the balance between home life and road life has been a theme in my music since early Red House Painters records.

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.

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