“Nothing really started for me until I was 17, and I haven’t grown out of that taste. The first would be Bob Dylan. He’s the person I always look to. He’d probably hate hearing that, but its true. I love how effortlessly his music came to him and I liked hearing him talk about when that stopped. He kept writing anyway, with different styles, from folk to electric. I love the D. A. Pennebaker film Don’t Look back. That was a big influence for me, seeing all the people he had on the road with him, like Joan Baez and his band. I also love Nirvana. That’s been well documented. You know, Nevermind. I love Courtney. Being with her on tour was like a real-life dream. I love everything she does. Im really inspired by her and her approach to life. The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds. I love Dennis Wilson’s solo stuff.”
