I loved living with my parents - that's probably why I did it for so long. But it was almost too easy to live there. I had to force myself to get out, had to challenge myself. I had to start a new chapter.
-
My best moments are when I write songs out of nowhere.
-
Over time, certain people don't want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band.
-
That's always my downfall on tour: the food. I just want to eat everything.
-
It's hard to talk about it without sounding like a hippie. But trees are really inspiring to me. They're like the masters of the earth.

I'm in East L.A., like Mount Washington, Highland Park. There's a little strip that they're gentrifying, trying to make a hip spot, but you go there, and it's just kind of barren. Nobody hangs out anywhere in L.A. There's no loitering in L.A., so I don't know what to do with myself.

Vermont will always be my home in my heart, but I really love L.A.
-
My dad took me and my brother to see Corrosion of Conformity. All I remember was that there was a dude swinging a chain in the mosh pit, and the bouncers were dragging him out.

You do anything long enough, and somebody will end up paying attention to it.
-
I have a 15-passenger van, which is not fun to drive in L.A. ever.
-
I listen to top 40, old country, blues... I'm really into Roger Miller.
-
I love Hanukkah because it's so weird. You just sit there and light candles and say spells.
-
It involved a lot of trust, but I love Bobby Harlow, and I loved the albums that he made.
-
I love collaborating with people, but I also really love working by myself.
-
I love the sound of '70s glam records. I love that snare sound. The recordings I like, it's all based on if the snare sounds good. The drums have to sound great.

I don't like science because I don't think it makes sense to put a definition on everything. It's a lot more exciting to think of things as mysterious.
