I like interacting with human beings, so being on stage feels like a larger version of that - kind of like throwing a party. It's like knocking into the human collision of everyday life and it just so happens to break down the wall between the audience and me and helps the songs communicate better.

The thing that makes me feel most alive would be when I'm hanging out with my family and feeling my connection with them and feeling safe and content in that.

The only way I get back to my center is either by talking to my wife or by spending time by myself.

I have a strong desire to connect. And so when I don't get that, I leave that situation feeling particularly wounded.

I'll forget about you long enough to forget why I need to

It's like a spiritual elevation that occurs when you're playing and becoming one with the instrument or players on the stage.
