In the studio, I'm always throwing people on different instruments.

I just try to do as good job with the material as I can and play some jazz as well, some improvised music, and do that every night. Just see where it goes.

It's important to be a divergent musician and do a little bit of everything, except you have to make sure your fans are aware of it and that you string them along the right way.

If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.

I just try to approach and serve the music in the way that I think is right for the band I'm in at the time.

You feel the music needs something but you don't know what. So you start searching, fitting, measuring, trying. Every time you try another angle. And sometimes that's frustrating, especially if you don't come up with something for three days.

I want to show people all of me, because that's what I haven't been doing. To be able to play so many instruments, and no one's ever seen me play, it seems like someone who's bluffing.

You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.

I guess my job has always been to build the music, direct the videos, to do all the things that usually fall behind the scenes.

You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
