I actually spend as much time listening to new music as to old. Probably more. I just try to get something out of it all.

I grew up listening to everything. I have such a love for music, but I don't want to make the same album over and over again.

Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back to it for a while 'cause I'm usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record.

Everyone is trying to make these huge songs; I just make things that I want to listen to. Music that I will be comfortable listening to 10 years from now, that's my only thing.

I just really always try to do what's in my heart and I'm still passionate about the music; I still love what I am doing.

I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done.

Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.

I feel like that I'm learning all the time. I'm learning from new artists, from established artists... every time I listen to '70s rock 'n' roll records, I'm learning. And I think that I'm just now starting to get a hold on what I do.

When I don't have a good time making music, I think of quitting a lot. I really do. I can create something else. I'll do something else.
