Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.

If you play music for no other reason than actually just because you love it, the skills just kinda creep up on you.

I always imagine later on these songs I could've played with a band, but it never worked out that way.

I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.

There's two facets to writing a song. There's you sitting in your room writing the sentiments of the song; the lyrics, the melody and the changes, and then there's the part where you go into the studio and you put clothing on it.
