I love the new technology. New things give you a reason to want to go to the studio. New challenges mean you have to keep up, you know?

If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature.

Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.

When you're not in studios, you don't have any luxuries; you can't control the elements, so you have to put up with those extremes.

I'm never gonna go into a studio and work for a whole year non-stop. Just every day on my own in the studio working, it's just too damn hard.

I'm having a blast being the music director at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. It certainly is challenging for me, but I love challenges.

I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.

I'm never tired of going to the studio. I enjoy recording and documenting everything and trying new things.

I just want to be in the studio. When you've got all the gear you want in your own house, it's difficult to go out and do something else, you know?
