The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that gets people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to, and that's what I tend to write toward.

I enjoy being on stage with other artists. I have a chance to watch and see people responding to the other artists songs. I get to see how people are affected by the music.

I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.

A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.

When you are a real artist who is serious about your craft, you love good music. Period.

I think of a piece of music as something that comes alive when it is being performed, and I feel that my role in the transmission of music is to be its best advocate at that moment.

I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it.

I like to work with artists who are as wide in their musical taste as I am.

I kind of make music where and when I can, and I guess that's why I collaborate so much.
