In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.

I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs.

I don't think what I look like is relevant.

The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.

If I were to imagine myself as an idler wheel inside some big mix of gears, then I would be connected to everything. It's not like there's just me and then nothing.

At my lowest moments, I think of people who come to shows. I still get very sad and sometimes I feel like I have no friends, but when that happens now, I'll think of people whose names or faces I don't know - they're my friends and they love me. I've got them. It really does save me. I still feel awkward, but that's the one thing I can grab onto at my lowest points.

What's really good is African drum music.
