I wrote most of these songs right before the end. A lot of these songs are about that. Even if it's not direct, you can feel the beginning of the end of the breakup in these songs.

Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album.

The success of Torn was a bit too much for me. I took a year off and was still scared to start the second album.

I have been listening to the Stooges' self-titled first album for well over half my life, and it remains one of the most exciting and essential records I have ever had the good fortune to come into contact with.

I just want to give people the best album that I possibly can.

My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.

I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.

It feels great to have a #1 album.
