Quote

A conversation with you is a different thing than projecting to a couple hundred people. It's bigger and more animated and it's on a bigger scope, but still in the heart, it's honestly me.

If we enjoy what we're doing, we shouldn't really need a break.

I would never talk to a girl in a bar, like a pick-up thing. But I could talk to anyone if they wore a t-shirt of a band I like.

I think you want to write a song that's like the songs you are into.

I guess the drinking and the drugs are interesting to me because the way we use them and our society uses them, we kind of manufacture highs and lows.

I'm not only a songwriter but I'm a massive music fan and I love going to shows. It's different than reading a book.

Being on a microphone nightly has made me better at what I do, made me better able to sing a little bit, but also more confident at trying it.

I've tried to write songs for other people and it usually requires them singing it and then changing the phrasing. I can put a lot of words in a song, and one of the reasons is, I'm not that good of a singer, so I don't hold a lot of notes.

I'm able to draw outside my own personal experiences. No one wants to hear the song about what I really did today, which is go get coffee and clean my apartment.

I made a decision at some point to live a nontraditional life. I've become like, the opposite of a consumer. I just want freedom. I don't want stuff. I don't want clutter. I just want to be able to move freely. I want to be good to the people I love. But I don't want stuff. I just want, you know, love and big ideas.

Ironically, when I was playing in my first band, I would deliberately not write down any lyrics. I have a really good memory and I would just keep them in my head.

I think the other thing that shaped me a little bit is that I really didn't have any success in music until my early to mid-30s.

Just looking into something kind of analytically can give a lot of ideas.

Image
My style of lyric-writing is very specific and has a lot of details, and I think people react most to that.

One of the things is my process requires a lot of repetition. I can probably drive people crazy because I'm interested in playing a song twenty times in a row.

If we enjoy what we're doing, we shouldn't really need a break. It's fun for us to play music. It's our livelihood, but I don't look at it as a job. It doesn't seem to me to be a problem to constantly be doing this.

Ray Cappo never tried to convert me into a Krishna, although one of his cohorts probably did. I think it was just about being wrapped up in this thing. Hardcore, at one point, meant everything to me. Now you look back, and I still think it's cool, but to some extent I grew out of it. Other things became a bigger priority for me.

The critics and hardcore music fans, those are the people you have to get to first, so we're really happy about it.

An album doesn't mean as much to a lot of people now, compared to just songs.

I don't have a problem rhyming bar with car - I do it all the time - but sometimes it doesn't feel right.
