I love communicating with people, and sometimes language is not enough. I think that's what poetry is, where you can mess with language and get through to things that can't be described or communicated through regular language or scientific processes.

I am not scared of making mistakes.

I think where you play is important.

I don't want to copy the people I admire - I'd rather find out what inspired them and try to find my own way through it.

I do understand the perspective of die-hard fans who complain that we don't play the same as the record, but at the same time I think fans are getting an amazing deal.

I think it's quite jarring and exciting when you see someone in the thrall of being completely transported by the music they're sharing with you.

One of my interests is to understand what constitutes the vibe of a place and what makes one concert different from another.
