I don't really understand the natural world, I admire it and am a little bit afraid of its power.

I'm really not working in a environment that's sonically pristine. It's not a conventional studio, obviously; it's a bit ramshackle.

I've been making the recordings for a long time, and I have tons and tons of them. I'm like a digital hoarder or something - everything is on like hard drives and whatever.

I love traveling and I love seeing new places and meeting new people, but at the same time, it takes a certain amount of emotional strength to gel with that, at least for me.

I enjoy touring and traveling because that's the time when I get to read, and listen to music. You have all that downtime, which is great for that.

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