If it's successful and it sounds awesome, and looks killer live, then I guess I can pat myself on the back and take all the credit too.

Obviously, I'm a little more responsible these days.

Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling.

That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.

Once the song is done and recorded, I like to go back and then cut the drums, because then I know exactly what the song needs, and what it doesn't need.

A lot of hip-hop artists wear fur, and they think it's a status symbol. That doesn't register for me; I just see dead animals.

The Radiohead record, 'The Bends' is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
