That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.

Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.

I'm only 26 - I don't know anything about life yet. Life is like a puzzle and my pieces are spread all over the world.

I like to listen to mellow stuff on the road like Travis, as we are constantly surrounded by rock music on tour and so its nice listening to mellow stuff. Obviously back at home I listen to a lot more rock music.

I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.

I hate it when bands do that; they're so proud of their new album, they have to play all of it and a couple of golden oldies.

So basically, I think music at its best can be everything. It can be totally stupid and very intellectual and emotional at the same time. I don't think all those things shut each other out.
