I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
Most artists don't understand what they do, and I don't think we have to. Other people do that better - they understand what I do better than I do!
I came together with younger musicians and tried to pass on my own experiences. In the process, I always tried to maintain my curiosity and spontaneity.
One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
I feel really different from other musicians.
I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.
I've always been around musicians and always been the songwriter who doesn't end up playing the music.
Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.
I've never understood people who play up the artifice of music.
