I feel lucky to be alive.

We're only as big as our experiences.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn’t be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Great classic music that I’ve been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

It’s incredibly stressful when the person you love is having a child.

To be appreciated by a whole ’nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it’s kind of what I did with the classic bands I love – the ones that influenced me.

There’s a beauty in being part of a band, when there’s equality and trust.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that I’m not afraid anymore to throw my influences into making a record.

I can’t read sheet music, I have to just listen to it, and then just go for it.

Bowie’s obviously my biggest influence.
