Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.

Early on I realized when you write a song about someone, it flatters them on some level, and gives you a lot of room to move within a relationship. A song can kind of get the girl, for sure.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

I'm hyped up when I'm working. Some people eat when they're hyped up and some people don't. I'm the 'don't.'

Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That's terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work.
