The only way I get back to my center is either by talking to my wife or by spending time by myself.

It's like a spiritual elevation that occurs when you're playing and becoming one with the instrument or players on the stage.

I like interacting with human beings, so being on stage feels like a larger version of that - kind of like throwing a party.

It's amazing, the look in your eyes, like you could save me, but you won't even try

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great!

I like interacting with human beings, so being on stage feels like a larger version of that - kind of like throwing a party. It's like knocking into the human collision of everyday life and it just so happens to break down the wall between the audience and me and helps the songs communicate better.

I have a strong desire to connect. And so when I don't get that, I leave that situation feeling particularly wounded.
