When I was 13, when I was 14, when I was in England, yeah all I wanted to do was go and see The Who, go and see The Stones.

I've spent my life trying to make things simpler.

I get all my good ideas sort of at one o' clock in the morning, and I tried for a while to behave like normal people.

I wake up around noon, light a cigarette, get a cup of coffee, sit in the bathtub for an hour and daydream, and I usually come up with some ideas... It's a very irresponsible life. The only decisions I make are about the notes I'm writing.

As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.

If I play you a piece of music, that's when you can truly look inside me.

The thing that hasn't changed, and I don't think will ever change, is that the operative word in music is "play." You have to have a playfulness about it. As the world shifts, it's starting to understand more and more that to have a playfulness about any and everything is actually the way of having a better life, or being more creative, or being more productive.
