When someone asks if you'd like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie?

With all the things that you could be, you never could learn how to be me.

As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.

The shows are so different from each other, depending on whether I play with my band, Nine Stories, other musicians, an orchestra, only one or two members of my band.

I have many memories of waking up to eat breakfast that my mother carefully prepared for us and her saying, what do y'all want for lunch, and as we're eating lunch, what do y'all want for dinner? It's always about the next meal

I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.

I grew up with family who liked to travel and sightsee, so I have this pressure inside me: If I'm in a city and I have enough free time, I'd better go to a museum. I try to see parks, go outside. Or else try to feel really normal like go to Target or a drugstore, or go see a movie.
