And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

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

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

My religious point of view is something I can't talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.
