It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.

Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.

I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures.

First of all, when you live in a country like Canada, it's quite different from America in the sense that it's very tied to traditions that were born in Britain.

So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.

Back in the day, fans wrote letters to groups - you'd get them, although it could take a while. Now, artists can go online and there's discussions about what you should and shouldn't be doing. The minute you announce that you're recording an album, thousands of people are telling you what that album should be.

I love to write. It's my first love.
