I'm not a haiku artist, but I wanted to use the phrase 5, 7, 5 in the melody that flows over time. So the string melody, the first one is five notes, the next one is seven, and then the third one is five.

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

I'm not Stravinsky, I never will be.

The best thing is to find something you really love to do and enjoy that process for the rest of your life.

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.

I just want to make music on the drums.

Money and fame are very inconvenient and very problematic.
