I've never broken a piano. However, I've been banned from particular clubs for breaking piano strings.

You wonder about it and wonder how will I make an instrument that can handle this kind of a problem.

I think all musicians have at one time or another experienced one physical problem or another. I have had tendinitis a couple of times, so I try to be really careful. It takes patience and persistence to overcome injury.

The thing with me. I can't stick musicians. I've thought about this. I can't stand them, and being stuck in a studio with them I think that's my strength I can hear what they can't.

Sometimes I'll lock myself in a room and dance. I'll turn music on as loud as possible and just get weird!

In my profession, I'm around a lot of people whose bodies are their instruments in one way or another.

In the studio, I'm always throwing people on different instruments.

I've gone down several paths. I started school as an engineer, but underneath it all, I knew I wanted to use instruments, not build them.

Anyone who writes knows that ultimately the majority of your time is spent alone in a room with a piano or a guitar, no matter what the project is.

There is something about a theatre room that is really like a laboratory for trying things and failing, because you have time to do that, and you can explore something deeply and discard it if it's not working.
