I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing
I'm not the quiet sensitive little guy I was. I can't be. There's just too much after me.
Phoenix was a tougher record, a little more commercially accessible record.
I wish I had more time to sit down and be a little bit more normal.
I kinda threw the spotlight away from me for a little while.
If someone criticizes my child it's gonna hurt me a little bit, but it's my child, you know, and I love it regardless.
While we understand that what were dealing with is a long term condition that will have to be dealt with, monitored and treated for probably the rest of my life, we are terribly encouraged to have come so far, so fast, ...

I was playing in bands before high school even. My first band I was in at 14. And we were playing just Beatles.
I always try to give my songs as gifts.

Down the ancient corridors through the gates of time, run the ghosts of dreams that we have left behind.
