When I saw music as a means to an end - more fame, more money, dating celebrities - that's when things have gone terribly wrong. Now my life is focused on just trying to keep making music. Because when it's really good, it's just the most remarkable feeling on the planet.

People don't truly respond to something until they see the direct consequences.

Keep your weather eye open, and sing out every time.

When I was in my twenties, I thought I was bulletproof.

I wish I could sing. I don't technically have a terrible voice, but it's certainly not as good as most of my friends. Whenever I hear myself on a record, it just reminds me I'm not a very good singer.

I honestly haven't thought much about what to play and where, perhaps i should...it seems like most musicians are better at that than I am.

In a way I almost feel like the election of Donald Trump has inspired Democrats and progressives and punk rockers in a way that hasn't been seen since Vietnam.
