In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God.

You know, the truth is that us actors would all like to believe we re-invent the wheel, every time we play a character. But, we're human beings and our instruments are not violins, they are our bodies and our consciousness and our collective life experience.

We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.

Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.

We may be coming to a new golden age of instrument making.

Our idea is simply to play the songs and to emphasize our musicianship.

If you're a musician, there's no instrument that can be withheld from you. If you're drawn to it, develop the talent for it.

The apparatus has to serve our improbability and improvisation. Being good and playing the songs is not enough.

We're musicians; we're not politicians or anything.
