I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.

I had a period in my life in the '90s where I was definitely young, dumb, and full of even more dumb.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.

Eventually I want to subsidize my income with other creative outlets that are going to not keep me tied to the road so much.

The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.

Bowie's obviously my biggest influence.
