I have that language and that set of skills to step out of the way and make music the priority.

When I'm at the piano, and I'm improvising some song about something, it usually oscillates between factual, absurd, and sincere.

Whether you're with a group of people, whether you're playing music or whether you're by yourself, even if it's written material, you have to be listening.

Music and art is regarded as extra and can be the first thing that you cut in a school program, and it's completely not true. If you want to create really boring, frustrated human beings, then yeah, cut out art and science.

I've always wanted to do a Shakespearean soliloquy, or a fake Shakespearean soliloquy, and now I'm doing that more often in shows. Things I've always wanted to do starting to happen.

When I'm performing, I hope my research and my experience with those things I'm talking about rings true.

We're all just memories of our future selves.
