Everything felt more personal this time. I go back to songs we've done in the past and there's just more maturity, depth, intelligence on these. They just feel more grown-up.

This album was total therapy. I'm way more at peace now. Writing these songs and saying everything we had to say makes it possible to move on.

This is our first time back in Europe since the 'incident.

I'm not out looking for a cause. They sort of find me or find my heart. But sure, there's always time for that. My big mouth can talk all the time.

I sing all the time. But maybe nobody's hearing it, because I'm singing in my car or in my house or whatever. I don't need the roar of the crowd, and I don't need to hear cheers to feel validated.

The short hair fits my personality more. I think maybe, with long hair, it was a role - I was playing dress-up a bit.
