I've been taking pictures of wherever I go, or on planes, whatever.

In the past, I was definitely more apt to storing pain away and not worrying about it. But as I get older, it's really about figuring out how to process it, how to feel it, and then also how to use it in my art.

When in doubt, zoom out.

As long as I have a good time, the audience usually has a good time.

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

Everyone speaks stupid.

Essentially a joke is creating an idea, whether sonic or visual, whether it's something musical or a traditional joke.
