While The Things I Do Kill Me,

It's Really Very Easy For Me To Be In The Cardinals, Because I Bring My Voice, My Guitar, And My Songs To Them, And Then We All Play Around To Find Out What Works.

It's Hard To View Myself Sometimes As Even In The Same League As Other Musicians, Mainly Because There's So Much Music Before Me. I Feel Overinformed By Different Styles And Different Possibilities.

I Think I've Been Incredibly Raw My Whole Career. A Lot Of People Spend A Lot Of Time Trying To Look Cool And Spend Time Being Guarded And Putting Up Walls. I Just Never Had The Time. It Seems More Honest To Say, 'hey, This Is Who I Am.'

Rock Records. It's The Main Source Of Inspiration For People - Fans, Or Musicians, Or Both - To Act Out In Ways That They Wouldn't Normally Act Out. Especially Rock Critics. Ultimately, Records Don't Really Hurt Anybody, And Neither Do Reviews.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Loving The Crap Out Of Everything. Negative People Find Their Walls. So Never Apologize For Your Enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.
