This Is Going To Sound Crazy, But

When I Start Working On A Batch Of Tunes - Like Roughly 10 Solid Tunes - I Always Know There'll Be Another 10 To Follow, Because For Every Song I Invest A Lot Of Time In, There's Another Song Waiting Behind It.

There's All These Musicians In The World, And Anybody That Takes Enough Time To Create A Record Or Even Think About The Fantasy Of Rock & Roll, I Mean, It's A Really Vulnerable Place To Be In. It's A Huge Thing To Do.

I Think It Would Be Wrong To Consider 'ashes And Fire' A Love Album. The Record Is Obsessed With Time. I Believe That There Is A Kinder View Of The Self On This Record.

It Was Never My First Choice To Be A Singer/guitar Player. I Really Wanted To Play Drums.

It's Like — I Don't Know, Sometimes It's Like Chasing A Pretty Girl On The Beach. And Things I Never Thought I Could Do... I Can Do.
