Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.

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.

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

I carry groceries home on the tank of my motorcycle.
