Once you do have a child you want to talk about every detail of it. And it is really boring to all your friends and it should be.

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.

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.

The last thing you want to do is write songs about being in a band.

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.

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 can never turn a tour into a vacation.
