I make good music for long journeys.

I don't find touring very creative. There's not much time to yourself with your instruments.

One often makes music to supplement one's world.

Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.

I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It's all under the same roof. So anything creative is interesting to me.

I like to think that if it hadn't gone as well as it has, if I wasn't able to make a living off of playing music, I would still be playing the music. But, of course, I wouldn't likely have had the opportunity to travel, and a lot of the places have inspired songs.

Music is a big influence in my work and sometimes drives the energy of where I want to go.

I run around so much that I finally reasoned that composing is the one musical endeavour which you can do anywhere, anytime.

I'd rather make music than tour.
