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

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.

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

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.

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

I just want my kid to not hate and to be a good human. That's what you try to do. You hope that they are the next evolution of your thing.
