That's one of the things that always grabbed me about rock music: There's a song, and you know how it goes, and you can sort of predict it, but a lot is left up to chance and interaction.

I guess a lot of bands play around until they come up with something they like.

I've found that writing and playing music has so little to do with will, and so much to do with just finding what's there waiting for you.

I have music in my head; I can't help it. You can put a gun to my head and it's not going to go away. The privilege is that I'm not being prevented from following that.

It's a great privilege to be able to play that much. When you play a lot, you can be really detail-oriented.

Usually if someone starts making universal claims, I tune right on out.
