I think it's really different for me whether I'm touring as part of a larger group or if I'm touring on my own. It's a completely different experience, because when I tour on my own, it's really just me by myself, and I make nice relationships with people.

People tend to eat through the cello. They tend to take out the things that make it beautifully cello-y sometimes.

Sometimes when I'm traveling, I feel a little bit dislocated, especially the transitions you make when you're traveling - you go to a different city every day.

As soon as we get out of our urban shell, we're still at the mercy of nature as individuals.

I have totally like an urbanite relationship to nature. I mean I'm not someone who hikes.

I feel like we as human beings are trampling all over the natural world, but at the same time, we are totally in its power.

It's just a spare room in my apartment. It's very cluttered and not particularly aesthetically inspiring, and it's very un-noise-proof.
