From a social perspective, I am looking for friends, not acolytes.

When I play, I very quickly put myself into a light hypnotic trance and compose while playing, drawing directly from the emotions.

More American young people can tell you where an island that the 'Survivor' TV series came from is located than can identify Afghanistan or Iraq. Ironically a TV show seems more real or at least more meaningful interesting or relevant than reality.

I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.

See my father knew a lot about music, he played the piano and he would do theory and stuff like that, but I didn't learn anything from him, but I played that for him and he liked it a lot.

The other thing in composition is opening up the unconscious.

I also know that I am not a great technician.
