I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.

Over the years, music put a weapon in my hand and words in my mouth it backed me up and shielded me, it shook me and scared me and showed me the way; music opened me up to living and being and feeling.

I got kind of tired of playing, I think. But I think it will be part of my life again, maybe.

It's so nice to have a band name you don't have to explain.

I'm really drawn to the uncompromising realness of natural process: It's unadorned. It's not very pretty.

I have no desire to play music unless I need music.

I think you should be prepared for a green-screen CGI at all times.
