Entertainment is about telling everybody that everything is alright but music is on the side of the upsetters and that's where I'm at.

I don't really remember a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, really.

This amateurism however, can sometimes be helpful in forging a style; you have to work around your weaknesses.

But what I think my emphasis is, is on the fact that I like music a lot.

If I was hearing something I couldn't do, I would figure out how to do it.

Holding on to some of your uniqueness is the trick instead of surrendering it at the Academy of Contemporary We're Gonna Make You a Star.

And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.
