The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.

Give your stuff away and if it's good, people will come to you.

I recognize that no matter how old I get, how many records I've done, or what the public perception of me is, there are still exciting things that I haven't done.

In fact, many musicians are the happiest when the artist and audience re-interpret or re-imagine the content of the songs.

When I was really young, I gravitated towards the visual arts first. I feel that's what comes most naturally to me. I've always had an immediate proclivity towards making visual art and I was a really tactile kid.

It's my intention to make something stand outside the realm of album art, but it also feels comfortable to me to be in it. It's tricky and definitely a requires striking a delicate balance.

I tend to over extend myself without really thinking throughthe realities of completing so many projects in a year, which generally means I'm going to be a little bit behind. I suppose that's the nature of the beast.
