For better or worse, I'm interested in just about everything: every different type of music I can imagine. I can never see a reason to choose just one type of music at the exclusion of everything else. Different types of music are capable of being rewarding in different kinds of ways.

I think we’re like farm animals before an earthquake.

One of the nice things about licensing music to movies or advertisements is you can reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear music.

I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.

It's sometimes too easy to point fingers when circumstances dramatically go awry, but as an addict, I'm ultimately responsible for my own decisions, no matter how benign or tragic the consequences.

When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

The worst case scenario is you really like someone's work, then you meet them and they're a self-involved, entitled douchebag.
