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

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

I'm not going to play lead guitar in a concert hall full of people, because I'm going to mess up a lot.

I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.

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 had success early on where I'm able to try to keep it fun, and I don't have to do things just for the sake of making a living, which a lot of my musician friends don't have that luxury of course.

I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.
