I find it very difficult to compose when I'm not playing.
With four people you can create one very strong kind of energy, but if you can get 65 people working together, and swinging together, that's a whole other kind of energy.
I don't believe music can be free unless it has something to be free from.
To do it always right, that is what music is to me.
My goal was never to sell many records.
My music has always been strong in melodic content.
