I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.

You can't chop down a symmetry

I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.

I've always loved acoustic music because I've always loved to hear someone's words or just watch them and just get into them. The distancing thing about rock is it's so assaulting.

Every night is different, a ball of thread that unrolls differently.

Music is gathering. Taking our scattered thoughts and senses and coalescing us back into our core. Music is powerful. The first few chords can change us where no self-help books can.

I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.
