Nobody can tell you you're wrong for writing a song about how you feel - even if you don't really feel that way.

A record is just a snapshot of where you are at any time.

I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.

I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.

Coffee gives me bad breath.

I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.

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.
