I've spent several years now with my head down.

There are songs I really enjoy playing. I like playing "Say It" live because it's a long jam, kind of like shoegaze, so I do enjoy that.

Am I a rock star? Yeah, I guess.

I don't think DIY is something that necessarily comes to mind when people hear Third Eye Blind, but that is completely how we've been from the beginning.

A lot of people say I wouldn't have a down day, but you look at the music and there's real melancholy.

Sometimes something will come along, and it feels easy and sometimes you'll get 85 percent there on a song and the last 15 percent will elude you for three years.

It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.
