I like creating these rhythmic patterns. These interlocking rhythmic things are really fun.

I rely heavily on rhythm when I write. You should tap your foot when you read it, all the way through.

For me writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz.

I paint very messy. I throw paint around. So when I let myself do the same sort of thing with my writing, and I would just write and write and write and revise, that's when I found my rhythm in writing.

I deal with more complex rhythmical patterns than a regular tap dancer. I even think in rhythms.

My solo playing utilizes the deployment of suggestive psychic rhythms. I'll state these throughout a given piece and play thematic improvisations on top of that. I like to suggest that rhythmic movement without always playing it. I like to create openings that I can step into.

Often I have to move my body in a certain way, like exercising, to begin to get into the right rhythm for writing a song.

The best way to express rhythm is music.

I have all the rhythm in my left hand, and I use the rhythms that Gene Krupa did on his drums.
