Family is the best. I can honestly say, it's a gift that is beyond making art. I didn't know that when I got into it.

I did some writing. I was just taking the kids to school. I did a couple things and we did some tours. It was a lot of downtime.

Every song has a different genesis, or feeling. Usually the lyrics, I don't really know what it's all about, I just kinda do it. I mean, there's a combination of, like you're saying, that kind of lyrics about commitment or vaguely relationship lyrics mixed with jokey 90s Beck-style non-sequiturs and stuff.

If you have no shame, and it’s your goal to get people into bed, how much higher could your success rate possibly be?

I don't know if you look back on your life and just see successes, but probably the first things that pop up are the regrets.

So much of rock lyrics is just a mirror of real feeling. It doesn't feel dangerous to me. They just feel like "rock lyrics."

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.
