I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.
I'm totally committed to the cause of individuality. That's the only thing I stand by: independence.
In the crazy world of touring, if something gets stuck at customs, I can do a show with just my amp!
If you've got a guitar and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar.

The Jungle Bush Beaters didn't last too long as a group, but we had a pretty good time while we did.
I don't sweat the little stuff anymore. The little worries, I just don't have time for them anymore.
Literally everything I do is either write songs and play music, or I'm immersed in my domestic life.
I just write... I follow the melodies that I can't forget/the ones that pop up in my brain the most.
I'll tell ya, I'm a genuinely nice guy. I really am. A real nice guy. But I think I'm temperamental.
Looking through the viewfinder for me is like being in a movie theater. That's what I like about it.
I eat innocent meat, the house wife I will beat, the prolife I will kill. What you won't do, I will.

I'm happy to be on a show that's bridging that gap of 'Okay, I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm a man.'
I’ve never really been contained to just one style. My listening choice has always been so mixed up.
The actualising of God through the medium of the love song remains my prime motivation as an artist.

When people tell you you're on the brink of death, you've got to dig pretty deep to get it together.
When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.
Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.
People ask how I feel about getting old. I tell them I have the same question. I'm learning as I go.

It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
Songwriting is best. It's the hardest ... finest ... tightest. It also requires the most discipline.
