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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
