Half the stuff I've written was written when I was half asleep watching the David Letterman show when some boring actress was on talking about herself. I would just mute the TV, look over to the computer and start plugging in notes. Then the next morning you go "Wow, I like this". I'd almost forget what I did, and then it would inspire me to go on and do the next thing. That's what I do. Just kind of follow my own little thing.

You stick your nose in the dirt until you find something that smells good.

I'm very grateful to be where I'm at and be able to play. That's really the bottom line for me. Survival and being able to play.

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.

There's things I'd like to do, but I've found that pretty much anything that I try to will to happen doesn't happen, but if you just kind of let go and let things fall into place, somehow I end up being able to do the right thing or the right time.

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.

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