I was pretty tough and serious in my 20s.

I just love music, so that's what I'm always working on, and I try to say yes a lot. Maybe I'm more ambitious than I thought I was.

You always want an album to sound like its own little planet.

After being in the creative, hermetic state I have been in, coming out has been painful, but it is getting easier.

The way I work is mostly unconscious and instinctive.

I tend to work on a song, generate ideas, and re-arrange it like five times, and I'm glad I take the time to do that, because I think my original songs come out better.

Certain people have the eye of the tiger, and I never was myself that kind of person, although I'm not a slacker.
