In America we're in this awful situation, and you know, I hardly get any royalties anymore because music is just stolen from the internet.

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.

It's very difficult to make a living in music these days. All it takes is somebody paying.

I do the same thing every night, but different.

I feel qualified and competent to try anything that's thrown my way because I don't have to be a success. I can just try.

Sometimes I feel like a one man crusade against the devaluation of music in America and culture in the arts.

I'd love to do music for films.
