I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?

I like the piano - I'm always about 15 feet away from a piano.

I think about God, yes, and I wonder if there is a God. And if there is a God, will God please help me through my hard trips.

I consider myself to be a crusader of love. I try to spread love around the world as best I can because I know I have a handle on love.

If you're going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it's better to write with collaborators.

The idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio...well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.

I wanted to emulate Bob Flanagan, the high voice in the 'Four Freshmen.' I wanted to sing high like he did.
