To see fans singing your songs back to you is an indescribable thing.

I recorded 'The End of All Things' right before I married my now wife. We had no vows publicly, so I wrote her this song and told her, 'This is how I see our relationship.'

I think, you know, when you're a teenager, sometimes your emotions are a little bit more drastic than maybe when you're in your 20s. You sort of level out a little bit.

Hip hop is doing the new rock thing; there are no rules. They can do anything, really. And that's inspiring.

I like to see how other people work and be part of their stuff and see what I can do to be part of their worlds. Its a pretty big challenge, and that excites me.

The future should be exciting, you know? It shouldn't be a nerve-wracking experience.
