I'm kind of a hermit. Left to my own devices, I won't submerge myself in anything further afield than the driveway.

I always worry that I'm a dilettante: I know something about lots of things but don't have exhaustive knowledge of much.

It's hard to stay positive when there's a lot of evil in the world.

People want you to play the songs they know. I try not to reflect too much, and I don't really like to focus too much on myself.

Take dance music: I like enough of it and its history to be able to say a word or two about this or that record, but I'm nobody's authority.

Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive.

It makes me envious of anybody who can say truly that they don't care what anybody thinks of what they do, because I care a lot about the people who like my stuff.
