I went every Sunday to church when I was growing up, and I think that music had an affect on me before my memory can recall.

I don't really watch TV series because I don't want to get hooked on them and have them suck up all my time.

I have a very strong belief in God.

It's a luxury to not have to just be performing with other people to have my music heard.

I've never used the word jamming. It's a matter of finding a great song and learning the chords, then slightly altering the vocal melody, and matching a classic chord progression with another chord progression.

I like using concrete imagery, but I don't feel that's what it's about. It's a combination of concrete and abstract to take the listener somewhere they know better than you. That's true for music, seeing a painting, watching a movie... it's all some kind of an escape.

Certain things you have to stumble on to. They can't be preprogrammed.
