You have to pay attention to the moment and make it the best it can be for you. I've been trying to do that. It's really made a major difference for me. I'm a happier person.

I don't try to project any image at all, other than the person that I am.

I learn all these things about the record talking about it after it's finished.

Some things remain fragments, just the lyrics and melodies or a line or two or a verse.

I really love playing music with other people. It's more fun to be on the road with others. It's kind of lonely out there when you play on your own!

Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.

I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too!
