Learning how to record has been super empowering for me, because I spent so many years going into the studio and watching other people do it. I guess a lot of musicians have gone through this because now recording is really available for everybody.

I'm really terrible at sort of figuring out the thing that's going to make the money, I guess.

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.

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

I'm always anxious in introducing sounds that don't originate with the cello.

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

When you're touring, it's somehow hard to focus on other things. I know other people can do it, but I really can't.
