I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.

There are so many musicians, friends of mine, who play shows for ten people a night, or always desperately wanted a record contract. So even if every person on the planet loathes me, I have nothing to complain about. My job is not a bad job, so I can't complain.

All I want to do with my life is try and make music that I really love, and so every day I try and work on music.

I realized the universe is 15 billion years old and unspeakably complicated. I still love the teachings of Christ, but I also believe that the human condition prevents us from having any true objective knowledge and understanding of the universe.

People who meditate and have a good spiritual practice, their immune systems are stronger. Generally, they are happier and healthier.

My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.

That is not all I need. I need dogs. A house filled with dogs and a smart, funny, kind, loving girlfriend or wife.
