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

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

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great! It's like a spiritual elevation that occurs when you're playing and becoming one with the instrument or players on the stage. It takes on this incredible feeling of levitating and the molecules spin differently in the moment.

Staying present and staying myself in the midst of others is important.

I would be heavenly if baby you'd just rescue me now

I'll forget about you long enough to forget why I need to

I feel vulnerable a lot interacting with human beings and being honest with people, and if I read their energy kind of not getting or shutting me down or this feeling of where we're not connecting, that's kind of a vulnerable place for me.
