I guess...on one hand, I spent way too much time watching science fiction and reading science fiction when I was growing up. But a part of it is I also never felt much of a connection to the world in which I lived while I was growing up, and so, oddly enough, I think I felt a lot more connected to the worlds that I read about in science fiction.

The main thing that excites me and makes me want to get out of bed is the thought of being able to go into my studio to work on music.

When I was very young, I played in a punk-rock band, but I also studied music theory and classical music.

By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.

I love to be busy. I'm envious of people who are able to take their spare time and relax. All I like to do is work. Perhaps it's lingering Calvinist guilt?

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

I change my mind about things - for a while I was punk rocker, and if you weren't a punk rocker you were an apostate. Then I was a dance music enthusiast, and if you weren't a dance music enthusiast, you were an apostate. I was carnivore, and if you were a vegan, I didn't want to talk to you. Then I was vegan, and if you were a carnivore I didn't want to talk to you.
