There's nothing more exciting to me than using real instruments in the studio.

In my profession, I'm around a lot of people whose bodies are their instruments in one way or another.

Creating sounds together with other musicians is something I've always liked doing.

I love working with different musicians in the studio, that's a real joy working with someone for the first time.

For me, it's just more satisfying when you follow the rules rather than just make a bunch of sounds. The magic of just making noise in the studio goes away after a while.

My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me.

If I'm in the studio, I'm completely on music. I try to go to that place and that's the toughest thing for me to do. When I'm with other musicians, sometimes I go back to, almost like, childhood, because that's what I always wanted to be.

In order to make my solo shows as interesting as possible, I moved songs onto very different instruments so that I was moving instruments quite a lot during the set.

When I'm in the studio, I like to be in there by myself because if I'm in the mike room, and I look out and see people talking, or they're not nodding their head or rocking to the music, it makes me feel like it don't sound good, or I'll be scared to really open up vocally because I might mess up, and they might be in there laughing.
