I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

I don't think about what other people want from me.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I try so hard to live in the moment - I don't think ahead very much.
