I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

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

I have stage fright every single concert I've ever done. I have at least four or five minutes of it. It's absolute living hell.

You're called a genius by people, and then your whole life you become the part.

You say how you feel, and songs don't lie. Songs are the most honest form of human expression there is--there's nothing that lies about a song.

I approach my music-making as an art-form--something pure from the spirit to which I can add dynamics and marketable reality. Music is genuine and healthy and the stimulation I get from molding it and adding dynamics is like nothing else on earth.
