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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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