Sometimes people will think, I need to have pre-sanctioned spiritual joy. Getting joy from my contemplative meditation practice or getting joy from reading Thich Nhat Hahn books. Those things can be joyful but I think it’s the small, simple joys of playing with dogs or having sex with someone you love or going for a walk outside, stuff that we tend to ignore.

I'm gonna have to start walking down the street and start hitting people in the head!

I honestly haven't thought much about what to play and where, perhaps i should...it seems like most musicians are better at that than I am.

I don't have children, but I imagine if parents are really pushed on the subject, they probably have favorite children.

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

There's a fairly extensive network of musicians on tour who are all trying to stay sober, and we generally reach out to each other and offer support when and where we can.

I'd rather be around broken people who have a degree of humility, and just get on with their work.
