I hate that word, mature, but I guess I am growing up.

All my friends say I have to get right back on the bike. And I keep saying maybe not a bike.

The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.

I don't really cringe over any of my albums.

I'm still the king of me.

Beck said he didn't believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel. I agree with him to a certain extent.

I hate how I've had the mantle set on my shoulders as being against the record label. We've had some issues, but that is the nature of business.
