"I'm just trying to make music that makes people feel good."

"I just want to be a good musician, a good human being, and a good friend."

"I want to be a part of the world, not isolated from it."

"It's funny, all the things that happen in the world, the things you hear, the things you see, it all gets into your music."

"I don’t want to be a clown anymore. I don’t want to be a 'rock and roll star'."
