Ryan: I find James's rise to stardom quite fascinating. With no disrespect intended, I hadn't heard of him until his last album came out. It wasn't that he was a bad musician or anything. It's usually really hard for a rock act to make it on to the big stage without changing up their sound to sound more commercial. I applaud James for staying loyal to his sound. It's also intersting to read that you also went through a dark stage in your career. It seems like every musician in some way or another is now facing addiction, depression or something along those lines. Pressure needs to be lifted off and people need to start pleasing themselves before they even think about pleasing others. Good luck with the new album, James.

Amy Meyer: I'm really looking forward to hearing the new album, you're one of the mainstream artists that continue to re-invent themselves with each release that you come out with and I'm sure that will be the same with the new record. It's also nice to see that you're as dedicated to your work as you are. Great interview!
