The more I come to understand music, the more I feel like a numbskull because there is always more to learn.

I'm always pursuing knowledge; I'm a seeker of spiritual equilibrium - and music is a big part of that.

I feel like that I'm learning all the time. I'm learning from new artists, from established artists... every time I listen to '70s rock 'n' roll records, I'm learning. And I think that I'm just now starting to get a hold on what I do.

I listen to a lot of different stuff, from Mozart to Johnny Dowd to Monster Magnet. I don't listen to music while I'm writing a draft, but I do listen to it when I'm revising.

In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.

I'm influenced by all types of music.

I have been as influenced by music and films as by books.

I still picture myself as a student of the music. I'm always trying to learn new things. Music is just what makes me tick.

I've learned how much of an impact that music has on people. I get messages all the time from people telling me what my music means to them and what it has done to them.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.
