I've learned that in the theater the story is everything. Every lyric, every line and every musical gesture has to propel the journey of a given character or the overall plot.

I understand that transposing a song a half step can effect the believability of a lyric.

I'm not trying to pull the rug out from under anybody, but the music really does tell you where to go.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with so many great collaborators in my lifetime.

I am excited to get on tour, if I'm speaking to the Phish fans. I can't wait.

I've always loved musical theater. It's a bit of a family tradition.

Musicians from the beginning of time have been there to express the mood and the musical feelings in the air for whatever's going on in that particular culture. It's the greatest joy as a musician to be able to translate that, be part of something and watch the scenery around you.
