My methodology is not knowing what I'm doing and making that work for me.

A significant event for me was learning Hank Williams, reconnecting with his music's simplicity, which inspired me to inhabit the same territory. It's different, because I grew up on Led Zeppelin, The Stooges and punk, so in that sense I'm mutating country and folk more than a few degrees.

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.

Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.

I learn stuff from making music every time I go in the studio. I'm continuing to try to find new ways to play in a song or be in a song and have a positive impact on a song.

If you have a lot of nature in your city, it becomes a more enjoyable place. That's my own feeling about it.

I like to play music. I like projects. I like excuses to hang out with my friends and play music.
