As a consumer of culture, I like a wide range of emotions to be touched in art. It's funny but on the other side of it, I do feel that people that are trying to sell culture would like to see a narrower range of expression from their content-makers. Easier to sell I guess.

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

I wanted to touch on the piece where often politicians use "god" to excuse their actions.

When I'm recording something (especially because I produce my own music) I might consider how hard it would be to replicate a song on stage.

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

So many policy decisions that effect musicians are being made without any input from musicians at all.

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.
