Well, I would sit on the bed with my guitar, write these really personal songs, and then take them around the world.

I have this really beautiful Martin guitar, and it just kind of writes songs for me.

'Let It Die' is more piano-based, organ-based and percussion-based. Live, the songs are more guitar-based. The record that we're doing right now is really guitar-based. I feel like finally I get to write some parts that I'll be excited to play on tour for this record.

I try to be the fixer of situations and I gravitate to people who are institutional misfits.

That's what drew me to rock music in the first place - that sense of remaking the world on your own terms.

My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.
