I Idolised Bands Like Pearl Jam And

Van Morrison Is Probably, At This Point In Time, My Biggest Influence As A Vocalist. When We Were Making Our Last Album I Had A Vinyl Copy Of 'veedon Fleece' In The Vocal Booth In Front Of Me, In The Dorky Sense. I Think There Were Candles Around, Which Is Really Tacky, But Hey, I Needed To Channel Van The Man!

My Dad Dragged Me To A Bruce Springsteen Concert As A Kid. It Was My First Concert, But I Fell Asleep In The Middle. My Second Concert Was Weezer On The Pinkerton Tour, And Pinkerton Is The Reason Why Im Doing This.

A Lot Of Times When I'm Writing Lyrics, I Just Think About Insecurities That I Might Have And Turn Them Into A Scene. Some Things May Be True, And Some Things May Not.

I Always Wanted To Be A Singer, But None Of My Friends Thought I Could Sing.

In A City Like New York, Any Night Can Be Completely Different, Even In A Subtle Way.
