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

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.

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.

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

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

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.
