Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal

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

I don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

You just never know when somebodys gonna die. It could happen at any moment so youve got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.

As far as my solo record, I don't want a gold record or anything, I'm happy to be small and to have the people appreciate the music who really like me for being me.

Yeah, I really like being alive. But I definitely don't have any intentions as an artist.

It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.
