I think good art does come from a dark place.

I like to write when I feel I'm the real me.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

I can't imagine that anybody is as screwed up as I am.

Wait a minute man, who do you think I am? He answered, Mr. Springsteen.
