The words are in my own internal language, and mean more than I could ever explain.

I suppose musicians have the kind of arrogant attitude that they can actually offer the world something, because through their passive power, they're able to be the strongest arms that they can be, incredibly strong. That's what keeps us going.

There's something extremely fragile about musicians, and that's their strength.

A true collaboration is trickier than a marriage because you can't hide.

There's the false security of feeling a great force of love from your audience one day and then the next morning you wake up and you're exhausted, and that love is something you have to reach for the next day.

The second and sometimes most important part of the creative process is performing it live, so that the work can evolve to a different level and it is also important to make that connection with your audience as they are the reason why you make this work in the first place.

There's fatigue but also a deliberate desire to want to reach absolute perfection at every concert.
