People love their favorite records. And I aspire to make a record someone might be able to love in that way.

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

A lot of people have realized that a good spiritual practice and a good meditation practice have real benefit. It’s not just something nice to do to make the universe happy.

I’ve never seen the need to choose one type of music at the exclusion of another. That would feel kind of sad and arbitrary.

I like the humility that comes from being hated. Hopefully some humility and compassion comes out of that.

I've been an animal rights activist and a vegan for 28 years. The entire time, I've asked myself: How do I best advance an animal rights agenda?

One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.
