Are you sure Ryan and Kelly aren't real people, and B.J. and Mindy are the characters?

Hey Andrew! Long time fan, having been to six of your shows dating all the way back to 2007. Your tour with Plain White T's and Panic! was my first ever concert, and Jack's Mannequin became one of my all time favorites from that night on.

My all time favorite song of yours has to be Caves, but I was never fortunate enough to hear you play it live. The emotion of both the lyrics and the music as you fought off the cancer has been an inspiration to me always.

My question: How difficult was it to transform your battle into a song? What drove you to document such a personal part of your life into The Glass Passenger? Also, when will you be returning to upstate NY?! We need you to come back!

Finally thanks for this AMA, one of the few I've been looking forward to!

Can you help clarify between these two statements?

I believe Pedophilic Disorder is a sexual orientation with individual that are attracted to child features. In other words, an individual with pedophilia has the same ingrained attraction that a hetersexual female may feel towards a male, or a homosexual feels towards their same gender.

And then

I do believe we can change the behavior of Pedophilic Disorder, with the understanding that the attraction may always remain.

I might be reading this wrong, but this sounds very similar to the "pray the gay away" therapy and ideas that were included in the DSM up until 1986. If Pediophilia is a sexual orientation, how can it be considered a disorder when others have been declassified as such?

Hey B.J., The Office means a lot to me personally - I've watched every episode alongside my younger brother and it's definitely been a huge part of our relationship growing up. Now that I'm out of the house and he's only starting high school, we still keep in touch with small references from the show, and I want to thank you for that.

We were equally sad watching the show we loved end, but as with all good things, it had to at some point. Is there anything you wished could have gotten added to the show - any story, idea, or script that could have been produced if you had another season? Also, with all the cameos after Steve Carrell's departure, was there anyone you wanted to have make an appearance that didn't?

Thanks!
