I can never turn a tour into a vacation.

I drink wine on stage to sort of loosen my grip on reality a little.

Not all the songs are real events, but I do write about stuff that is close to my heart and it comes out one way or another.

I've never had so much fun being back at my job sitting in front of my computer. Compared to 10 months on the road, going home and sleeping in my own bed every night is really nice.

I have pit bulls barking at me on half of the love songs.

Sadness is not always the worst feeling. Sometimes it's a really pleasurable thing to be overwhelmed with sadness.

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