People never cease to amaze us.

If you lose count of how many cookies you ate, the calorie intake ceases to exist. True story.

I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

There's lots of bands where somebody will write lyrics and somebody else will sing them. It works for a lot of people, but that feels weird to me. I don't mean this in a bad way at all but it just feels fake.. I guess in my heart of hearts, whether the person has a good voice or not I want [the songs] to come from them. I don't know why.

Having kids had a big effect on me, but nothing more than when they started to get older- that really made me realize how fleeting each moment is.

I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there and make this a record for mass consumption, this was really just a way for me to get out of my own situation and reclaim that part of myself - so when making the songs, I wanted a testament to what I'd gone through, I wanted a snapshot of those moments.

Every time I felt the pain coming on I'd go downstairs and hammer out an idea. After a few months I started to take a look at what I was making, I had for the first time in my life written a large grip of songs completely alone and without any expectations or plans of what they would be for.

Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.

I feel like you have to make art because you have to make it. But the end result of it- that last stage- you have to show it to somebody else to hopefully get a rise or reaction out of them- [to see] if it’ll affect someone else.

Very rarely I create things and feel like I don't want to recreate them in a live setting. It's a completely different world, but at the same time that's where I've always come from. Enjoying that give-and-take from a live audience, there's a large part of me that's looking forward to it, and creating that relationship again.

No one is born with hate in their heart. Hate is something that has been taught. It is not an innate survival skill that we need It is a form of stupidity that penetrates our minds and will eventually destroy us.

My biggest addictions have been chocolate cake, mashed potatoes, and butter sandwiches.

I've always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record.

Popsicles should be the new black and then everyone would have one.

I'm a big proponent of letting songs tell me what they wanna sound like.

Festivals are weird, you never know what to expect so it's a bit more nerve wracking then playing your own show.

Every time somebody ever told you that you weren't gonna amount to anything, you know, that's your time to shine, you know? You can show everybody and prove to yourself what you're doing is real and that it counts and that it makes a difference.

I think that's really the beauty of life, like, we're this collection of moments, this collection of experiences that we've had, or little tics that we've stolen from other people, it's like we're this amalgamation of all of that.

People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.
