You can say what you think music is, but the only way it really is, is how people experience it.

I think everyone should feel like they can make music, they can create music.

Music is a whole oasis in my head. The creation process is so personal and fulfilling.

You look at Michael McDonald and people like that; I think they just tried to write music that was true to themselves. That's our bottom line. Whatever people view us as, I think as long as we try to create good music that will win out in the end.

Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.

If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

But I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.

Music is powered by ideas. If you don't have clarity of ideas, you're just communicating sheer sound.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

Technology has made it much easier to make and manipulate music. Studio-driven, machine-driven music does not always transcend into being a good live act. Many current acts are great live, but many cannot cut it live. The music is not organic.
