People want to hear clean sounds; they don't want to hear coughing in the background, pages turning.

I remember watching Looney Tunes cartoons and having the music stuck in my head.

The Conversation was a movie I saw probably for the first time in the early 2000s. I immediately loved the piano and just how simple it is.

I thought about what I wanted to do besides playing violin and singing backup in a band. Don't get me wrong, playing and singing in That Dog was really fun, but I wanted to work on other musical projects and sing more. So I started a vocal project, i.e. Imaginaryland.

I like things that start depressing and dark and end up romantic, and thats what I really loved about King Kong.

I played violin from when I was about eight to thirteen, so I could read a little bit, but if you put a piece of music in front of me now, I would probably know the notes, but not the timing, how they're supposed to be played, and I just don't know how to read chords. If I'd stuck with it, I'd probably have more jobs.

People are born with the knack to write poems and songs. I'm not a poet at all.
