It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water.

I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.

I've always related music to those moments when someone turns you loose on something and they haven't told you how to do it.

It's really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we've reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we're finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it's getting.

Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it's been quite effective imagining the world's problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that's where real major change begins.

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

As a songwriter it's kind of hard to listen to your own stuff with clarity.
