On one level, we're on Matador, but our amps still might explode on stage, or they'll be an echo in the mic. It's like climbing a ladder. I like to climb it really slowly. I could probably get really professional right away, but I like to take baby steps and find my own way.

I get to come home to my family. It's awesome, just constant adventure, never a dull moment. So much life.

Some people are so sad that, at times, that's what gets on my nerves - if they just hammer the doom, with no comic relief whatsoever.

I had a wacky job driving a forklift for an air freight company. That was the worst.

I come from a very political and military family.

The problems of rebellious youth can be traced to homes where the mother disobeyed the father or showed lack of respect for his authority.

I just planted the family vegetables yesterday. You name it, I grow it.

I deliberately try to carry a different perception of myself as opposed to my father's. I respect my dad and his body of work, but I can't give him credit for what I am today. As a person, I give my parents full credit; career-wise, no.
