I'm like one of those firecrackers that goes off in your pocket occasionally. I'm not really struggling with it as much as the people around me. But at least I'm not doing too much damage to anybody or to myself. It's just the condition I'm aware of.

I don't want to scream 'Immigrant Song' every night for the rest of my life, and I'm not sure I could.

If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

Kashmir is my last resort. I think, if I truly deserve it one day, I should go there and stay there for quite a while. Or if I really need it at any point, it should be my haven, my Shangri-la.

There's a constant conflict, really, within me. As much as I really enjoy what I do at home... I play on my own little soccer team and I've been taking part in the community and living the life of any ordinary guy, I always find myself wistful and enveloped in a feeling I can't really get out of my system.

I really had to think and learn about musical intervals.
