I don't get to listen to music for fun very often; a lot of what I'm hearing is for work and isn't released yet.

For me I'm actually doing what I normally do when I do my solo thing and the other thing is actually more new to me.

Musicians are in-season all the time.

Every artist wants some sort of feedback, because you make this music and you hope people love it and you want to hear if they love it and what they love about it, what their favorite song is, what they think the next single should be. I like to hear those things.

The best training is to play by ear: trial by fire.

I've always followed politics, and I think politics is everybody's business because we're electing someone who's going to be making important decisions that will affect all of our lives.

Music, to me, if it's good, it's good. That's all that matters.
