I approach my music-making as an art-form - something pure from the spirit to which I can add dynamics and marketable reality. Music is genuine and healthy and the stimulation I get from molding it and adding dynamics is like nothing else on earth.

Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever.

I love restaurants. You're sitting there and all of a sudden, there's food. It's like magic.

Being called a musical genius was a cross to bear. Genius is a big word. But if you have to live up to something, you might as well live up to that.
