So when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.

I only entertain very close friends.

Tokyo is like the New York of Asia. Although the people there are all basically from Japan, they celebrate what they like about various cultures.

Some of us get a feeling when we hear music and we feel music, and you want to figure out how to continue to feel that.

The last thing you want to do as a creator is take something of someone else's when you love him.

If someone asks me what inspires me, I always say, "That which is missing," because I don't want to copy everything that's already happening. I feel like when you copy, you blend in, and when you blend in, you get lost.

I like to browse and just hang in bookstores.
