It's fun to peek into other people's worlds and see how they go about doing things.

I remember early on, for instance, having to play wedding gigs, that I hated playing the music. Now I don't have to play music that I don't like. I only get to do what I enjoy, so that's pretty lucky.

I've always loved to read. But sometimes I go for a year without reading, because I forget to.

I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.

There's a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there's also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.

I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
