I'm not the kind of guy who sits around at home and writes songs. Once in a while I'll pick up a guitar and noodle around, but it's rare.

When I'm not touring, I sing at home, either at the piano or I'll pick up my guitar, singing old Buck Owens songs.

I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again.

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.

Everyone's been on a ramen noodle diet once or twice.
