It's inevitable your environment will influence what you do

I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it

Because of my Buddhist practice, I'm never lacking for inspiration

I think in a way I was probably completely naive about what it takes to make something become a hit

Things come to me pretty regularly. There is never a shortage or a backlog

I make the kind of music I like

Happy music doesn't tend to move me much
