I still picture myself as a student of the music. I'm always trying to learn new things. Music is just what makes me tick.

I played piano, I learned a lot about music.

The more I come to understand music, the more I feel like a numbskull because there is always more to learn.

Throughout the years I have tried to hone my skills to gain mastery over the music in my head.

I am permanently a student of people who make great songs, but besides sort of learning by absorption, I just love listening to music, hearing what's going on, hearing new things or new old things.

I've been studying on my own. I'm not really trained. I went to school for about a year and a half. I never really studied music, but, I mean, I did. I studied for two years, maybe.

To be honest, I don't listen to much music! I've been so engrossed in it my whole life that when I drive around in my car, I'll listen to college lectures on philosophy and literature and world history, things like that, to kind of catch up on the college experience I missed.

I've always been in music. I started out in music, and I will continue to do music.

In regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.

I want a long career in music, so you've gotta keep trying things out; it's gotta get progressively better.
