“As I've gotten older, I've found that I'm not afraid anymore to throw my influences into making a record.”

“I had a period in my life in the '90s where I was definitely young, dumb, and full of even more dumb.”

“I was just a kid in 1987 when I heard of the Pixies, the year after I graduated high school. But I had my band together, and my best friend at the time, Corey Hickock, who was the guitar player in the band that would become STP, Mighty Joe Young, turned me on to the Pixies.”

“My biggest influences when I was a kid - I listened to a lot of top 40 radio, so whatever the big artists were, so, like, the mid-'80s.”

“I had some bad influences in my time and, if my parents weren't there to straighten me out, things might have gone haywire.”

“My influences were Peter Sellers and the great British character actors.”
