Most people want to be seen or heard. You want to shine. That's my way of shining.

When I was a kid I really liked the guitarist of The Doors [Robby Krieger]. He plays blues, but he plays a lot of melodic things. He plays scales that are kind of unusual, and some bent notes.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

There's always a chance, a goal to make something different and get it right, finally.

That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.

I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

I like a narrative, even if it's fractured, or kind of psychedelic. But my favorite thing is if I hear words and I close my eyes and the connotations or the image I get in my head, combine with the sound of them - sometimes phonetics. I'm just stringing those together.
