I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.

I don't want to make niche-oriented music.

Someone told me there was a publisher that could find a good home for my songs, but I didn't want to give up my pursuit of a career in the business as an artist.

I am very aware now that music is a business, but there is also a way to go about making music that is true to yourself as opposed to doing, you know, just going through the motions and making things that would just be commercially successful.

All I'm really interested in musically is trying to make concept albums. Serving a larger sum than the parts.

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.

I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.

I've made more than 50 records with a wide range of music. I've often veered to check something out.

Even though there is randomness and improvisation in my music, I want to have some concrete idea that I can hold onto.

Anything I do has to have integrity, so if you just want to make music, it's not difficult finding support. The hard part for a publicist or manager is making a star.
