I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.

For me my friendship with Omar Rodriguez from Mars Volta that friendship really means a lot to me because he's another creative person who works as hard as I do.

What I have to say to an inhabitant of the Earth in one hundred years is similar to what I have to say to the present inhabitants of Earth. To be creative.

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.

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.

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.
