I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn't have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it's sparse or grandiose or whatever. And I'm social, frankly.

I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.

Women's bodies are used to sell anything and everything because it works, it grabs people's attention, and advertisers aren't going to stop using something that works.

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am.

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.
