The human element of making music is what's most important.

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

If you're trying to connect to people with music - it's more of an outward process and a lot of times musicians can be very inward.

I was at a New Year's Eve party, and someone asked me how was my year, and I said, 'I honestly think 2011 was the best year of my entire life,' and I actually meant it.

It's funny; recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

There's a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.
