The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

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.

Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.

There was a time where I was the youngest one in any group, and now when I turn around sometimes, I'm the oldest one in every group. It just seemed to flip-flop one day - it wasn't a gradual thing.

In the studio you have pretty much carte blanche with whatever you're doing. You can turn natural instruments into electronic instruments.

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