I see my albums as working diaries, as living scrapbooks of me and my life.

The older I get, the more I see that there really aren't huge zeniths of happiness or a huge abyss of darkness as much as there used to be. I tend to walk a middle ground

Thank God I have music to vent my emotions. I'd be in a prison if I didn't.

I'm glad I made a piece of art that can be interpreted so widely. Art is always interpreted subjectively

If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.

Walking is magic. Can't recommend it highly enough. I read that Plato and Aristotle did much of their brilliant thinking together while ambulating. The movement, the meditation, the health of the blood pumping, and the rhythm of footsteps...this is a primal way to connect with one's deeper self.

I don't like to sit and bask in my own awards. Awards represent artistic death to me.
