God knows why - no pun intended - but every time I write a song, I feel a need to touch on religion.

I love being in the studio. If I'm at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It's just something that I like to do.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.

I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

I want people to feel good about listening to this [Delta Machine] record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it.

I live in Santa Barbara. My wife's American, and she lived in England for 11 years and then told me she'd had enough.
