I probably listen to Burn more than any of them, because it was so new me, so novel. To see my name on an actual record was such an incredible feeling.

People love their favorite records. And I aspire to make a record someone might be able to love in that way.

I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.

Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.

Albums are like diaries. You go through phases, technically and emotionally, and they reflect the state that you're in at the time.

We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can.

I think the song itself, 'Smoke and Fire,' is just a metaphor for the feelings that you feel in a relationship.

I tend to name albums after one of the songs.
