Thoughts.
On fame: "Yeah, and everybody who moves out to L.A. gets that Hollywood thing in their blood, and their second record always sounds like shit. And if we end up there, we take it back."
On Stilwater: "Stillwater was actually perfect for us.It pretty much screams unexcitement. The only thing you can do here is drink beer, have sex or write music."
On writing a song: "It all comes from my ex-girlfriends. All my songs are about simple relationship bullshit. There are different scenarios to each song, so you've got pretty much every fucked-up thing that can happen in a relationship."
