I make music and hope people enjoy it - but when they do it's always a surprise. A nice surprise, but not one that I expect to always be there.

I feel like anytime you write about people in an honest way, you can find connections to any issue you would like.

Every musician that comes along teaches me something.

Religion is a huge part of our consciousness. I grew up in the Bible Belt, so it's our mythology. Those are the stories we learn as little kids at Sunday school. I'm not afraid to use the metaphors, because I think the stories are beautiful.

Sometimes I teach script writing.

I try to use a poetic language more than talk about my feelings, but it is married to the music.

I learned early on that you do yourself a disservice trying to replicate the record onstage every night. As a player, and for the audience I think, it's a mistake.

I change things each time we go into making a record, like the personnel playing on it, the types of music.

I don't really make particularly abrasive music, but at the same time I wouldn't change something to make people like it.

As a writer, there is only so much of your own life you can draw on.
