When You're Recording To Analog

I Was At A New Year's Eve Party, And Someone Asked Me How Was My Year, And I Said, 'i Honestly Think 2011 Was The Best Year Of My Entire Life,' And I Actually Meant It.

I Like The Rock Documentaries That Make It Seem Real. Some Rock Documentaries Are Meant To Make The Bands Look Larger Than Life.

Every Band Should Study Queen At Live Aid. If You Really Feel Like That Barrier Is Gone, You Become Freddie Mercury. I Consider Him The Greatest Frontman Of All Time. Like, It's Funny? You'd Imagine That Freddie Was More Than Human, But... You Know How He Controlled Wembley Stadium At Live Aid In 1985? He Stood Up There And Did His Vocal Warm Ups With The Audience. Something That Intimate, Where They Realize, 'oh Yeah, He's Just A F***ing Dude.'

I Think Actually Singing The Words Is More Therapeutic Than Just Sitting Down To Write Them, Because Then You Are Letting It Out, And It's Coming From Your Gut.

Singing Into A Microphone And Learning To Play An Instrument And Learning To Do Your Craft, That's The Most Important Thing For People To Do. It's Not About Being Perfect, It's Not About Sounding Absolutely Correct, It's Not About What Goes On In A Computer. It's About What Goes On In Here [your Heart] And What Goes On In Here [your Head].
