I think that's what makes a great show: when the performers onstage aren't putting on a show, they're legitimately just having a freaking awesome time.

It's not hard to create a song, but to write a song that's really going affect somebody? That takes a hell of a lot of time.

That I even get to play a sold-out show where people know the words and I'm singing about things I'm connected to is such a blessing. It's the equivalent of a nine-year-old saying, 'I want to be an astronaut when I grow up,' and then getting to go to the moon.

I had my whole life to write a bunch of crappy songs and then play them in front of people and think, 'All right, that one out of these seven is really good; it's a keeper.' But on this second album, to be honest, I probably wrote about 50 songs where I was just trying to write a hit.

People in the Midwest, there's a lot of regional pride and a lot more, like, fake positivity - 'That's great - you're awesome!'

I think what's been really awesome about the Internet is the ability to reach people from so many different walks of life and stages in their life.

Our demographic has parents and grandparents and kids. But I love our fan base. It's awesome.

To succeed in the tech industry, you start businesses, make money, and make smart investments. But to succeed in the tech community, you do and build awesome things, are generous with your time and efforts, and make a point of making space for strangers - without any expectation of payback.
