What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

I like what the future holds. I don't like thinking about the past.

I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of going out there and playing football.

I learn from thinking about the future, what hasn't been done yet. That's kind of my constant obsession.

I'm impatient. I get twitchy. When I get that feeling I just go out and make something happen.

Time plays a role in almost every decision. And some decisions define your attitude about time.

I've just recently started doing the promo bits for the new album, and the funny thing is that the people who come to talk to me about these things seem to be getting younger. It's like the people who like the music are all young kids and they're on top of you - they know all about what you're doing, and they're excited and animated about it. So it's a lot of fun.
