My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

I try to be the fixer of situations and I gravitate to people who are institutional misfits.

It's important to face down your demons.

Life is cruel and unfair, my friends, and that is fact.

That's what drew me to rock music in the first place - that sense of remaking the world on your own terms.

I don't really believe in palm readers and crystal balls and tarot cards, but I respond to the need for them.

You just gotta go after things you like.
