Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.

What I really like doing is taking risks, musically.

I just love to play and I get a chance to play with other musicians and I jump on it.

I've always had an interest in doing something that was outside my comfort zone; I had this thing about standing on the edge of the cliff and deciding to jump.

I'm definitely a risk-taker with my music.

As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.

If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void.

It's the adventure, the adrenaline-flowing, risk-taking in outdoor activities that attracts me.

I've succeeded as far as I'm concerned - I don't feel that I have any cliffs I could fall over anytime soon.

When I get onstage in a play, I feel very safe, very protected, very fulfilled.
