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

Every day is the start of something beautiful.

When I was a kid I just had headphones on all the time, and it changed the way I see things and the way I interpret things.

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.

Music for me is this thing that's sort of saved my life over the course of my whole life, whether it be writing songs or listening to other people's stuff.

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