Sometimes it takes just living your life a certain way to be able to open yourself to the rhythm of the cosmos.

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 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.

That's what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.

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

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

It’s, it’s like I’m in the fourth dimension and somebody is asking me to describe it verbally and that’s what the fourth dimension is all about, is no words, no symbols, no images, all pure, real energy and vibrations. And, and if I thought about how cruel of a world this is, I would probably just commit suicide after a while, if that was what I spent my energy thinking about. I would definitely not have any strength left to create music.
