If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you're living at the time, I think that's the most important part of a song.

But as long as you're creating the art you want to create, if people start liking you, you shouldn't have to apologize. You want your stuff to be heard by as many people as possible.

I think any branding for me is band-related. It's really weird to get used to the exposure, because I am a naturally introverted person, and I'm not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk, but I spend a lot of my days not talking, especially when I'm at home and not on tour.

I knew how touring was for 10 years, but it's completely different now that things are popping off.

Running in Central Park is my favorite thing to wake up and do. I have my own specific path that I have to run every single time. There's a little bit of OCD involved, but I love it.

I don't have a Twitter or a Facebook, but that doesn't mean I'm any more productive than the rest of the world.

I kind of like being depressed.
