Stop thinking you have to go to big industry to have a big life, because it's not the truth.

Mackie is an electronics recording company backing me, and they're willing to invest giving equipment to schools that I choose, and they've already started doing that.

There are very few interviews I turn down, because I really dig talking to people and hanging out.

I've also been writing for other artists, producing other artists, doing some country stuff. Those lyrics I tend to leave more universal.

If we didn't live in a society that told us we're not OK if we're not making 100 grand a year, I think we'd all be a lot happier.

I know my ambitions are big, but you've got to have something after rock and roll.

I have so many plans! Sometimes it's hard to keep up because at this point it's just been me and the little bit of help my label gives me.
