They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had

I didn't like the sound of people gasping at the mere mention of my name. It horrified me...

I'm a painter first, and a musician second.

Unlike some of my peers, I haven't really hit a writer's block. When I hit a block I just paint, which is an old crop rotation trick.

The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don't think this is heavy.

How does a person create a song? A lot of it is being open to encounter and to be in touch with the miraculous.

When I began experimenting, people weren't ready for it. Once it's in its second and third generational stages, people can accept it.
