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

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.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.

I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.

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.

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.
