I love music. It's freedom, a way to deal with pent-up frustration.

I make music and I can't stop. It's a compulsion and an obsession and a curse.

It's wonderful when music is intellectually stimulating. But ultimately it has to be a visceral experience.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I use music as therapy. Whenever I'm feeling angry or needing some 'me' time, which is quite regularly, I'll go and bang a piano or flesh out something on a guitar.

I confess to being a frustrated musician.

When I listen to music - I don't particularly do it for fun all that much. It's not a big part of my life, and I'm not really on top of what's happening in the world of music in the way I was when I was a teenager.

I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.

I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.

It's really nice to be able to do what I'm doing without having to compromise with another musician.
