There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.

There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.

You have to remember that writing those sorta songs is not reality, it's more like trance, dream, y'know, like dreamwork. The mythical thing can enter the creating but there's the mythical place and the real place. And there's both...I get it between waking and sleeping. Or, when I'm doing something else. I don't sit down and think I'm gonna write about subject X or subject Y. I could be doing something and an impression comes in from outside and the song emerges out of that. It's never thought about or contrived.

I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.

Shivers up and down my spine It's a feeling so divine Let me go back for a while Got to go back for a while To that magic time.
