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

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

I'm just opening the doors. And a lot of this is new to me - thinking about it, and letting go again and again and again, trusting that if I'm meant to continue working as a musician, it'll happen. If I'm not, then pull out the life support.

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.

Ultimately you understand there is order in the universe, even if there is no order in your immediate circumstances.

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.

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