Everything I've ever dreamed of, everything in my wildest dreams, is coming true.

I love players like Thurston Moore. I mean, you can put notes down on a sheet of paper, and if you practice and get your chops up, you can play like an Eddie Van Halen or a Steve Vai. But nobody can do what Thurston Moore does; he's his own guy. He talks through his instrument in a language that's all his own.

I have a split - of my real home-life side that's real-life, and then the creative side that is not necessarily real-life, but it intersects my real-life so much.

I also remember the second band I was in ever. We were called Hybrid. We got a show at this local street fair, and we were playing on the back of a flatbed truck. There was an ad in the paper, and it said that 'Hybird' is playing. I was so mad.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

Publishing the lyric books, poetry or comics of other musicians I know. That's the thing I really want to break into!

These are dangerous days we live in and you, the artists, are our last defense.
