I'd like to do a tour with a bunch of people where it's just them and their guitars. It would be like Lilith Fair - only everyone plays alone, and it would be competitive.

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.

I just don't fit into the box.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.
