I am really pleased to hear each of my songs described as a total surprise. This is what I want!

I didn't realize at the time that if I wrote about something, I was going to have to talk about something. A lot. Ad nauseum.

As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.

Really, everything for me comes from "Manifestra." It was an incredible gift of a song; it really describes an important moment in my life.

Mostly, the people in "the room" are paid lobbyists representing interests that could afford to pay them. No wonder policy isn't being made that helps smaller, independent musicians or those unaffiliated with a larger entity.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.

My approach to writing and recording now is pretty much the same as when I started. Except now I worry even less about what people will think of what I made. And I am not drunk.
