I was raised on pop music. Anything classical ran together in a complicated blur.

I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter.

It takes forever if you go by inertia.

I am a musician. I didn't know I would be so when I was young. I do know that I have always heard music in my head that I wasn't hearing somewhere else and I 'needed' this music. And obedient to the laws of nature, I created into this vacuum.

So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals, and I've had one for 10 years now, where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.

It's all about consistency, and what makes a child or a dog secure: order, clarity - all those things.
