I like that gathering moment where the music is about to begin, that moment right there. It's like jumping out of an airplane. It's that moment when the lights go out and then you're in it.

What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.

I like people who have a pulse and aren't afraid to show it.

There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state

There are songs I really enjoy playing. I like playing "Say It" live because it's a long jam, kind of like shoegaze, so I do enjoy that.

Music is the only thing in this world, with the exception of sneezing and looking at the sunset, that takes you to a place that's above the mundane. Everything else is just bullshit.

I try to be the fixer of situations and I gravitate to people who are institutional misfits.
