Writing and creating, those things come to me on their own. I feel like... you sort of summon them and it's like allowing the universe to enter your heart in an entirely different way to what it normally does. It's like inviting that energy of the universe to enter into your craft in a way where it has a meaning.
On Heartbreaker, I had to sing those songs. I drank the way I did those songs. I ate the way I did those songs. I communicated the way I did those songs

The band got a bad bug on the way back from Japan that just kept wearing us down.
I want to keep him as far away from the real world as possible,
It's a neat community. I'm excited about the growth that's occurring in Little Elm.
It is awesome. They thought we were losing all our starters (from last year), and we come back and we just show them that we all can do it. It doesn't matter who it is.
If I could find my way home/ Where would I go?
He's mythological to me, like Zeus or Thor. I don't want to dispel all the myths and mysteries that surround some of his stuff, which I think is just absolutely phenomenal, inspiring and righteous.
