Talk about a struggling artist having to work against enormous odds ... But I love movies so much, so I'm going to do it.

The music usually occurs to me as a complete sound, and then I have developed the skill of being able to translate that into a fully realized song.

That's really what keeps me playing live - appreciation. And I guess I've made a lot of wiggle room for myself to try different things and discover what I'm doing, and the audience accepts it.

I remember being very psyched for our first tours, despite not knowing about the endless stream of situations and setbacks that we'd face.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I definitely don't feel a sense of jealousy or competition, and that's a really good feeling.
