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

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

There's many possibilities for anything.

I've composed all my life and kept things, and even developed things I've done in college into something now.

Some great experiences I've had and little by little I've come to the realization that everything Frank Zappa told me was the truth, whether I wanted to believe it or not. You know, I was young and naive or in denial. But he really was a special, special human being.

I don't know where I'm going, and I don't care where I'm going. As long as I can just do it.

Of course the headspace for the young musician is whatever the guy who is paying you says, is right, but that's all.
