Any song I have to work on longer than a day, I just leave it. It's not gonna work. Everything that's good is really instant.

Working out gives me the opportunity to let go and listen to my music; it's a big stress reliever.

I'm always doing something musically - when I'm working or when I'm off.

Because I'm pushing my body so hard already, the last thing I want to do is have music that's really too strong, in my head.

A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.

I like to watch 'Grey's Anatomy' when I'd doing cardio. But, sometimes I do need good music to get me moving. I like high energy songs by artists like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna.

Music can be useful during training to help get you psyched, and I still listen to music on easy climbs or in the gym. But during cutting-edge solos or really hard climbs, I unplug. There shouldn't be a need for extra motivation on big days, be it music or anything else. It should come from within.

I'm glad that our music motivates people to exercise. If I had to pick just one song to run to, it would be 'Violet' by Hole. It makes me want to run.

I really try to wake up with my music the same as I do with my life, and that is with no expectations. I just feel what I feel that day and follow it.

If I work on music, it'll be for 10 hours a day, so sometimes I'll feel stressed, and I'll go for a two-hour walk. That sorts me out.
