You have a history of art-music that you equate with music. That's what I love about that term art-music. It separates itself from music-music, the music people have always made.

I don't think music is an art any more than cooking food is an art.

Real music is what I consider to be uncorporatized music, the music that just happens. I feel like that's not a very well-known thing.

Some guy is good at putting these verses together, and some guy is good at singing them. That's just the way it is.

I've been playing one way or another since I was about three years old. I don't remember not knowing how to play any instruments.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

Some people are good cooks and some people are good... I don't see why you have to do all of that.
