If it's something that I just can't get anywhere with, even if I think this could be a hit, I just drop it and it doesn't get developed.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm happy doing what I do. That's ok. Some guy could appear tomorrow and do it much better than me, and so be it, but right now I'm just happy to be who I am doing what I do.

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.
