I became at peace with the darkness or the personality that I have. I am usually pretty funny and happy.

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

I can never turn a tour into a vacation.

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.

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

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.

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.
