When you take a pitch and line it somewhere, it's like you've thought of something and put it there with beautiful clarity.

My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.

The tone of 'Pitch Perfect' is so specific, and from the studio's perspective, they wanted someone who could step right in and seamlessly understand the movie comedically and musically.

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

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

I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

Music can be such a vulnerable thing, so when you're delivering a vocal or writing a piece of music, it's easy to get sideways.

When I'm playing with the band or playing with some projects or some of my own stuff it's about the musical approach. That would be the more turntablist approach to things of where it's strictly about music.

People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.

There are some people, by the way, that associate a certain amount of visualization with the performance of music. Those are people that really are not centrally concerned only with music, the traditional things.
