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.

If it's physical pain, you just deal with it the best way you can. But if it's more emotional, I don't know. I just try my best to feel it, take it in, and just allow myself to go through whatever may actually come from it. And then a certain amount of it, you can use to transform it through art, which is the healthy way of dealing with it, as well.

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.

Good comedians are great philosophers.

The idea of experimenting with machines to create art was always something I tinkered with.

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 like sincerely talking about market analysis and how marketing is ahead of design and design needs to catch up to fulfill the promise of the marketing.
