I find pleasure in things that are simple.
You make kingdoms and castles on your own.
When you're just shagging girls, you can talk about it, but once it gets real, then you don't.
I play video games, dude!
Am I a rock star? Yeah, I guess.
There are songs I really enjoy playing. I like playing "Say It" live because it's a long jam, kind of like shoegaze, so I do enjoy that.
I've spent several years now with my head down
I was not someone who participated in other people's castles
I don't think DIY is something that necessarily comes to mind when people hear Third Eye Blind, but that is completely how we've been from the beginning.
Sometimes something will come along, and it feels easy and sometimes you'll get 85 percent there on a song and the last 15 percent will elude you for three years.
I try to be the fixer of situations and I gravitate to people who are institutional misfits
I carry groceries home on the tank of my motorcycle.
I have my share of insecurities, hopes and fears.
A lot of people say I wouldn't have a down day, but you look at the music and there's real melancholy.
