You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.

What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

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

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

In music you have people exposing this very vulnerable part of themselves, and you also have the lifestyle is so fast that oftentimes people search for whatever the easiest way to feel relaxed in the midst of all of it, or the easiest way to have energy.

The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music.
