There's something to be said for writing in the morning. At other points in the day, you're a bit more defensive.

Sometimes, writing songs is like waiting in for deliveries. They give you a window, and your washing machine is going to show up, whether the window is the album or something you're thinking, like, 'This thing is going to come to me.'

There's something about a Gucci loafer kicking on a fuzz pedal.

I usually sit around with the guitar in reach and grab it when I get an idea. Sometimes it lasts five minutes, and sometimes it lasts all day.

When our time's up, it's up. All the money in the world won't buy you one more day.

I'm still auditioning and doing other movie parts, but I really like the developing and the writing. You have more control over your destiny.
