I like acting when I can pick my own roles, and I do. It's fun. I like being creative, and it's a creative process. Art Alexakis actcreativefun Change image and share on social
As a songwriter, I do kind of look at 'Santa Monica' as a thing outside of itself, because it isn't just my song. This is a song a lot of people tell me is a part of their high school or college years. That means a lot to me. Art Alexakis collegehighkind share on social
I think Everclear is a weird combination of a singer-songwriter and a hard-rock band. That's why some people really dig the band, and some don't. Art Alexakis bandcombinationdig Change image and share on social
'Santa Monica' was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But it's not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is. Art Alexakis bigdefinefriendly Change image and share on social
I'd actually like to make a country album one day. One of my idols is Neil Young, because he's kept himself from being bored. Art Alexakis albumborecountry Change image and share on social
My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring - the 101 is just right. It's like the Mama Bear of scenic drives. Art Alexakis angelesbearbore share on social
Being a musician, especially at the major label where you work for so long, it becomes a cycle. Write a record, make a record, tour. It's just this cycle, and I don't think there's any life built into it with time to assimilate what's going on in front of you and what's going on in your head.

One of the things about being a boy, especially growing up without a father, is you really don't have that role model to teach you how to do things. Art Alexakis boyfathergrow Change image and share on social
I think I write very good songs. But I don't know if anybody could record my songs with as much fervor. They sound good sung by me, and they especially sound good with my band. Art Alexakis bandfervorgood Change image and share on social
