I'm trying to figure out how to record at home because I have a tiny house and a seven-year-old and my wife also works at home. So I can't work in the house because she's trying to write, so I pitched a tent in the backyard. I'm literally trying to record in the tent.

Maybe because I have spent too much of my life in rock clubs. I don't really go to parties anymore either. I'll usually be in the bus by 11:30 after a show.

Music has got a community vibe to it that pulls people together, and those communities are different in different places.

When I have just sat down and tried to write the lyrics of a song, usually about half of it sounds like bullshit. I just have to go away from something and come back to it again later. I do a lot of editing and switching around and putting little pieces together to get the right mood and personality, and it takes me forever to get a song finished.

When you realize that the baby's healthy and born, it's a release and you're so happy.

It takes us a long time to write a song that we all really like, so it makes sense that it would take a while for the listener to get there, too.

I don't want somebody telling my daughter who she can marry, or what she can do with her body. That's what was at stake.
