Dream dictionaries are so disappointing. They're so limited, and I think they're just total bullshit. I really do. I don't know much about the Freudian theory of dreams; it's probably more interesting than your average hippie dream dictionary, but it's got to be a lot deeper than that. It can't all be about sex all the time, so I don't know if Freud is right either.

I think I have a lot of empathy for animals and nature in general. Those things just make me comfortable. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, around a lot of animals. I feel for them.

I want the recording process to be a time in my life that I will remember.

Country music is completely punk-rock. It's the original punk-rock.

I grew up with lots of animals and I related more to them than I did to people. I feel a lot of empathy for them.

Everyone has to kind of fend for themselves.

You're not supposed to totally know what's happening. The songs are supposed to give you clues so you can fill in the blanks.
