I don't think I can play the game and sell myself.

I think by the time I finished college I was calling myself a professional because I was, you know. I was making a living playing music.

All of your experience comes into play when you're composing.

I don't have to be a success. I can just try.

I have tons of tunes, maybe 30 tunes that I still think are great, and only because some jerk at a record company didn't think it was great, it's not out there.

I have great samples of my drums and I try to program them pretty much how I want to play them, try and make it feel natural even though it's programmed.

I try to put what's evocative in the music to me, I try and put that out there in terms of titles and imagery, or implication towards the listener.
