I am pretty embroiled in moving on and moving forward with music.

What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.

To go see a band in a big venue is a difficult experience. I don't really like that too much. I'm not a guy who puts on iTunes and goes, "Oh, what's hot!" I don't need to.

Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.
