Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that's a lifelong quest.

When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.

I think that that's the way the music grows and changes and becomes new and creative and vital. It's by synthesizing elements from all around it and not to maintain this kind of rigid myopic kind of tunnel vision, in a sense, trying to maintain a certain kind of purity, or whatever.

To me, the object of practicing is to allow you to play what you hear. But you're always hearing new things, so you never get to the end of it.

In regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.

Music is just kind of an expression of who I am. It's what I do.
