Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving.

Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from.

The world is a drought when out of love.

I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.

I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.

I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.

Someone will inevitably find something wrong in almost everything, so do what it is that you do best and remember to have enough tolerance for two.
