I like sparseness. There's something about that minimalist feel that can make something have an immediate impact and make it unique. I'll probably always work with that formula; I just don't know how.

It doesn't matter what age you are, an effective song will move you.

Usually I write the songs at home and then I bring them in to the band; when we play them as a band, that's kinda how we figure out the feel of how they're going to be presented on the record or live.

I get so much mail from young women saying that they are so insecure when they look at me, but they don't realize all of the flaws that I have.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
