There’s Always Some Level Of Optimism In

It's Important That I Get Time To Run, To Just Go For A Jog For About 30 Minutes. It Helps With My Voice, But It Also Kind Of Gives Me A Little Bit Of Time To Myself - And You Get To See A City.

Lately I've Been Falling Asleep Listening To 'common One' By Van Morrison, Specifically The Song 'summertime In England.' It's 15 Minutes Long, So To Make It Through The Entire Song Is A Real Task Unto Itself, But Van Has That Emotional Payoff That Makes Even His Most Tiresome Songs More Powerful Than Most People's Entire Catalog.

As A Songwriter I Hate This Whole, 'if It's A Sad Song, It Has To Sound Like A Sad Song Thing.' And That Goes All The Way Back To My Days With The Format. I'm An Insane Narcissist, So If I Have To Get Something Off My Chest, I'll Get Something Off My Chest.

We Love A Good, Hyped Sound, But When It Starts To Sound Insincere, That's When I Lose Interest. I Hope That Our Music, Even If It Sounds Polished, Doesn't Sound Insincere.

I Prefer To Connect With Fans From The Stage. Like, I Don't Have A Twitter Page, Or Anything Like That. So For Me, That's What The Show Is About. For Me - Is A Way To Interact With Fans; Being Up Onstage And Showing Them, Through Music - Which Is All I Really Know - The Best Way To Say Thank You.
