Playing music for as long as I had been playing music and then getting a shot at making a record and at having an audience and stuff, it's just like an untamed force... a different kind of energy.

When you're inside and you have no control and when you're the 14-year-old version of Frances Farmer, you know, you have reasons to be angry.

It's more like you write what comes to you... You try to reflect the mood of the songs. Take 'Rearviewmirror', we start off with the music and it kinds of propels the lyrics. It made me feel like I was in a car, leaving something, a bad situation. There's an emotion there. I remembered all the times I wanted to leave.

I don't work so hard at trying to get every song to be three-dimensional and mean so much. I just want to breathe, right now, with the music.

If it's a good cause, I'll play just about anything.

I'm an example of someone who never made it to university. I did have this dream to be a musician. I felt that this dream had an expiration date.

Yeah, we'll play that. You want fries with that?

If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature.

I don't know how people do it these days - paparazzi and that kind of thing. That's something I can't even imagine.

Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.
