I definitely have a firm, fixed idea of what compromise is for me.

My parents had a huge pile of records - vinyl! - that I loved, especially the Motown stuff, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding.

I love all kinds of different music.

I think my favorite thing is the mystery of life - it makes you feel that much better about accomplishing something.

It's just satisfying for me to be able to write kind of like a finished, nice product.
