• Suelo escribir bastante solo. Siempre lo he hecho. Solía escribir con Ron Strykert porque era el único guitarrista y tocábamos bien juntos. Vivíamos en el mismo sitio. Yo tocaba un cierto estilo y él bailaba alrededor de lo que yo hacía, en cierto sentido. Aprendí de él y viceversa. Con esta banda, creo que todos me aportan ideas. Puede que en el próximo álbum haya más colaboración, pero en los últimos dos o tres años he escrito bastante solo.
