I was doing stuff that for me was sort of more about playing real music.

I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.

I'm learning as I go. The music has drawn me out of my shell. It's made me open my door a little more and be able to look at people in the eye.

I didn't have to see this big clock on the wall and worry. Most of the record I made was experimental. If you have a lot of time to do that you don't have to worry about the money, plus, I had no money. It was more out of necessity than choice.

I write everything. I have that control issue with my music. That's why I'm not in a band.

Someone asked me if I play piano because I feel like I have a protective wall around me. Maybe. I am really messed up.

I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.
