A song is a song and, if I am emotionally connected to do it, whether it is sad or not sad, I am going to chase that song.

I'd say recording and playing on stage are two completely different things. Being up in front of all people is like jumping off a cliff into icy water. The recording process is a totally different energy.

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

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

The song 'Humiliation' is kind of about what if, outside of a dinner party or something, I was blown up by a drone missile, out by the pool. What an embarrassing way to go.

Getting on stage and performing and standing under lights is such an unsettling experience - in a good and bad way - but it's the only place I can go to feel comfortable.

I can only write songs when somebody gives me some water to swim in. Otherwise, I'm a fish on the beach.
