I want to inflict some change on people.

I have no problem with people illegally downloading stuff. I'm not going to drive hard into 'You should buy my stuff,' because really, it's inevitable. If you like a song, you're going to download it for free. I have no problem with that.

Before I had a steady job, I was broke, and I didn't have any money to buy anything, so I would illegally download stuff.

Writing a song to be a single is hard, and I don't like to focus on that because you can get caught up in making something just terrible, which is really easy to do if you're focused on making it a single. It's more fun when you focus on what excites you musically.

Luckily, my wife is amazing. She's one of the few people in my life I'm completely honest with. I've told her everything about my past. She knows me inside and out. There's no secrets at all.

Playing in arenas, that's very non-personal with the crowd.

With an older generation, there's some weight carried with the Beatles. There's almost like an untouchable, god-like force field around them.

I think it's healthy for bands to discover new, older stuff.

What I love is getting polarized opinions.
