I am very happy to be alive. There is much fun to be had. Music, movies, books, paintings, drawingsI hope you have these things where you are. If you have them, what does the real world matter anyway?

I think a solo moves forward the way a song does, because it's reflective of the chords that I'm considering as I'm soloing, and at the same time I'm going as much out on a limb as Frank Zappa used to, in terms of just going crazy on the instrument.

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.

It's about the music, it's not about just showing people what you can do with a piece of wood with strings on it

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.
