When we play, every day is different. All three of my bandmates surprise me all the time.

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 very heartening to see people who I used to do music with still doing it.

I'm always looking to disprove what I think I know for sure. I call that learning.

I love love. Growing up, I always thought it was a state, and I'd wait for it to appear. Now I think it's an activity, a skill, something you strive to create. A constant conversation between emotion and imagination and flesh.

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.

What most people call "chaos" is actually incredibly predictable and maddeningly boring - greed, close-mindedness, warring over power.
