“It's kind of a lonely work, because you just have to keep your pole in the water…” — Tom Petty

I didn't think you could just become a rock and roll singer.

My hours get kinda backwards. Most of the time, we're basing out of one town, flying out, doing the show, then flying back. And it's a pace that no one would believe, really. Unless you've done it, you really can't understand what it is. And if you're not really experienced and know how to do it, you will fall.

I've been more and more into production lately, and I really, really love that. I love recording.

It's hard for me... If I don't have a project going, I don't feel like I'm connected to anything. I don't even think it's that healthy for me. I like to get out of bed and have a purpose.
