I was totally into jazz in my teens.

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

I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography.

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.

You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.

I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.

Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.
