I wish people would spend their money on hybrid cars.

I think often times if a guitar riff is centered around the chorus or if it follows the chorus, then it often times turns into the actual hook.

I started selling corn dogs, ended up in the music industry. That's how it all started.

I am not opposed to doing a side project, like Death Cab for Cutie, where it's completely different from my own band.

Nobody works harder than Lady Gaga. Nobody. She is unbelievable. I don't know how she sleeps, or when or if.

I'm in an odd position because I write across so many genres for so many people and they all influence me, and if I'm going to write as honest an album as possible, it's going to be layered.

I live in Los Angeles, which is the second most polluted city in the world, and I wake up in the morning to dirt all over my window.
