I crave music that'll sort of hurtle me into space and release me up there.

Life is hard, you're tired, and there's disease. The strategy that works for children is to be delighted by the things that delight you.

There are so many ways to respond to music besides feeling like someone's communicating with you. It gives me a charge.

Not everybody relates to pain, but if you can watch other people playacting it, you can absorb some of that vibe. It's like watching horror movies - you want to have the experience, but in a safe environment.

I don't really have any position to complain about my job. Yeah, every job has its moments like, "Ah, you know, it's Wednesday." But I'm blessed. I love my work.

If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them.

There is something fierce and starved about first ideas.
