Creativity is what makes humanity move. We were created to participate.

If sound is music and came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound. If the sound is effective, it should actually have a chemical - some sort of physiological - effect on the listener, so he doesn't have to hear that sound again.

One thing you learn: if you want to reveal yourself, you also have to know where to stop.

I'm my own most merciless critic onstage.

I'm not talking ideas, or even presentation. It's like in politics: You have to sell something to become an electric player - like your skin or your heart.

When you're on stage you have a very strange knowledge of what the audience is. It isn't exactly a sound - it's a hum, like the streets.

The way I think about the practicing, it is my undercover work.
