I think it's easy to make impenetrable music that nobody can get, and you can hide behind that sometimes.

Part of me wants to stay hidden; it's no coincidence that I write movie music. It lets me stay in the shadows, in a way, but still lets me be expressive.

I would love to make my music and be completely anonymous, but that doesn't work. You can't have success and be faceless.

It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical. But it's what everyone wants - to get everyone's attention, to have your music make a living for you, to be validated in that way.

People speculate on your personal life all the time anyway. So I just think it's important to keep my private life private and my public persona more into music, you know?

It would be cool to be invisible, but I'm afraid of what people would say about me if they didn't know I was there. Some things are better left unknown.

I like music because it's the only invisible art form.

I work in a medium where I get to be totally invisible and I get great pleasure from that, being a pretty self-conscious person.

The thing that I've decided is, I don't want to be invisible, but I'd like to be transparent. I want people to see what I'm thinking and see through me.

Now as a musician, if you have it within you, you can create your own reality. Believe me, it's a novelty.
