The reward is when you make the music, not when you get the medal.

When you love what you do, it pays off, and that's the best reward you could have.

Back in the day people made music to go on tour. They didn't make music to make a video.

Growing up in the Bay Area, I played early on with these quartet groups who set guidelines for me. I remember the guys would all have the same clothes and shoes, like these uniforms. I was in awe.

I would love to go to smaller places in the UK such as Manchester and Liverpool and play there. It's much more intimate; you got to get down and gritty, getting closer to the people.

When you look at athletes, they have fundamentals.

I feel like I have re-created myself on every album. I try to do that. It's like playing a game with yourself, trying to compete with yourself.
