The only way I get back to my center is either by talking to my wife or by spending time by myself.

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great!

I just want my kid to not hate and to be a good human. That's what you try to do. You hope that they are the next evolution of your thing.

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great! It's like a spiritual elevation that occurs when you're playing and becoming one with the instrument or players on the stage. It takes on this incredible feeling of levitating and the molecules spin differently in the moment.

The thing that makes me feel most alive would be when I'm hanging out with my family and feeling my connection with them and feeling safe and content in that.

When I was a kid I just had headphones on all the time, and it changed the way I see things and the way I interpret things.

Music for me is this thing that's sort of saved my life over the course of my whole life, whether it be writing songs or listening to other people's stuff.

I think I feel vulnerable most of the time. I feel on guard. I've gotten pretty good at putting my fists down and kind of allowing the world to be, so that I don't feel threatened as much.

I like interacting with human beings, so being on stage feels like a larger version of that - kind of like throwing a party. It's like knocking into the human collision of everyday life and it just so happens to break down the wall between the audience and me and helps the songs communicate better.

I have a strong desire to connect. And so when I don't get that, I leave that situation feeling particularly wounded.

I feel vulnerable a lot interacting with human beings and being honest with people, and if I read their energy kind of not getting or shutting me down or this feeling of where we're not connecting, that's kind of a vulnerable place for me.
