My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.

That's what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.

Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

As long as you're excited about what you're playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it's going to be great.

Music is my life. The things that people do don't seem interesting to me at all - going out to bars, carrying on, going to parties. What the hell do people do? Shop? Play golf? Have vacations? That doesn't seem interesting to me. To me, my job as a musician is to be a good receptor. A lot of music comes through me.

For me my friendship with Omar Rodriguez from Mars Volta that friendship really means a lot to me because he's another creative person who works as hard as I do.
