I didn't feel anything [frustraiting]. I just kept working 110 or 120 nights a year.

Ever since the world ended, I don't go out as much

I've been able to do pretty well. I don't work as many consecutive nights as I used to, but I'm still working over 100 nights a year, so that's good for me.

I never sit down and write. I just sorta let things form in my brain.

I don't care what anyone does, as long as they go through the copyright office.

I'm improvising all the time. Everything I do is improvised. On the piano, at least.

The idea was I'd never amount to anything in music, The theme there was that I was talented, but I wouldn't work hard enough to do anything with it.
