It's very difficult to play opposite nothing. I did it for, like, six years - I ran from an invisible smoke monster for most of my twenties.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm always looking for a chance to play somebody who's completely opposite of me, just because I find it more interesting.
Any time I try to play anything that doesn't come natural, I'm just plain bad.
It's much more fun to play something you're nothing like than what you are... It's much easier to hide yourself in a character.
Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.
It's hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous.
The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own.
I used to game a lot, and I used to game a little too hard.
Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.
I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don't feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do.
All I've ever tried to do is play real people.
