My first records are integral because I made them, you know, and I'm going to learn from those mistakes.

There are a million tiny weird towns. You never know what you're going to get into if you drive an hour into the wild.

Learn from my mistakes and you don't have to make them yourself.

I cross things out more than I write them. And if I try to sing a line, and I know that it's written incorrectly, I get this weird sort of physical nausea, and my mouth curls up all strange. I guess that's why I always write the words first: because, if everything feels okay, I'm ready to put it to music.

I want to learn from the mistakes my dad made.

From the first time you can look in the paper and you accept that you're the entertainment for some people that night, it becomes so much more enjoyable to play live.
