I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.

Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.

I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.

I hope there are some audiophiles still out there.

My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.
