I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it's put to an image, a moving image, and I love it.

When I make music, it's a very visual thing. Conjures up a lot of images.

I just find it thrilling, especially when I totally lock in to the person that I am doing and I'm really flying... I suppose I am hiding myself when I sing as these other people.

I'm trying to learn to really use space. My philosophy is that every time you interrupt space in a very confident, secure manner, then music happens.

There's definitely a visual aspect and an emotional aspect to a song. And that harks back, for me, to theater.

When I sing, I have to live in that moment, so my audience can feel that. That is my reason for doing art.

I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.

I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.

I feel like I can see the music and can see how the character of the music actually flows. For me, that's music to my eyes.

I think it's almost a law of nature that there are only certain things that hit an emotive space, and that's what was always special for me about music: it made me feel something.
