I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.

And if a few other people come along who discover my music because they in some natural way come across my music, cool.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

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

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

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
