One of my favorite things is acting like a speaker or a professor or a CEO of a company and addressing the audience like a group of engineers or designers or marketers.

I was in punk rock bands, heavy metal bands, world music bands, jazz groups, any type of music that would take me. I just love music.

When in doubt, zoom out.

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

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

I would always write lyrics and songs on the piano.

The biggest fear that I have is settling into too many set behavior patterns, where I feel like I'm no longer exploring possibilities anymore.
