Once you get into the habit of work, you can be more productive in the things you want to do.

Maybe the idea of being a rockstar or being the one who's recording or playing, sort of doesn't really matter as much anymore, when you're surrounded by great musicians who bring their spirit, their own talent.

People, instead of competing, they can actually support each other, in music.

Ethical systems and practices need to look good. They have to be desirable, well-designed and work well.

I am happy to have success in the entertainment biz, but the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.

I'm a self-taught musician, so I never really had the restrictions of any one instrument. I would always just sort of pick up instruments and make noise with 'em.
