You just write one word and that tells you what the next word is going to be.

I don't really have that much control over where I play. I put out parameters and I accept what I can. If it's really low, or I had a bad experience at a place then I usually don't play there again.

Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

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.

My motives at a young age were, "I want to be rich and famous".

I really think kids should understand that music is like learning the alphabet. You put small letters together to make words, and then you use these words to create a story, but with music. And they really need to know how to mix and match those letters and how to come up with something that is really interesting, or speak in metaphors as poets do to show us something maybe we didn't think about.

I'd love to do music for films.
