I really don't pay too much attention; I don't go out of my way to read any interviews.

There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.

With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It's almost like watching a scene from a film, and that's what I go about trying to catch in a song.

It's good to feel excited by the environment you're in.

Everything from a lifetime's worth of collecting things. You know as we go through life, and something stays and ends up on your shelf and lives there until you die? Just those little things.

When I write - I always write on my own - I demo those songs on a four-track.

The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.
