Just trying to be different - when I hear something - I don't like to go trampling on other people's sounds.

I play a musical instrument a little, but only for my own amazement.

In so many ways, it feels the same now when I play as the very first time I picked up the instrument. There's always this sound out there that's just a little bit beyond my reach and I'm trying to get there and that just sort of keeps me going.

I always find that there is a real communication between voice and violin.

I think when I was pretty young I got really into the tone of my instrument and I remember just playing one note for an hour to just kind of feel the resonance of the violin.

I can whistle with my fingers, especially if I have a whistle.

For me, playing music is like meditating - I just play and don't really think about what I'm doing, I just let it happen.

Maybe its a case of one guitar feeling a certain way to the hands that makes one subsequently move differently over the strings, but my intent is always to wring the maximum emotional resonance out of the object in hand.

I don't like to go trampling on other people's sounds. That's really about it - I don't gravitate towards it, I try to move away from it.

I don't play an instrument. I pretend. I try to.
