Being faced with too many options. I mean, it makes me feel as though I'm overwhelmed by too many possibilities; that can be a very vulnerable feeling because it's hard to make a decision.

I usually just say I'm a stand-up comedian, but I use looping machines to create ideas with my voice.

When you're improvising, you're relying on this connection to creativity.

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

There are three different modes: playing piano, just me at the microphone, and me at my effects units. And I can mix those up in different ways.

If I'm improvising and I'm not doing well it's because I'm not listening very well. Either I'm overly concerned with something or I'm drifting or maybe I'm too stoned but I'm not getting a clear signal.

We're all just memories of our future selves.
