I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.

Music is a very big participant in everything I do, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.

I listen to music almost any time I'm not sleeping, 'hanging out' with specific people, or showering.

I stay up too late pretty much every night working on music.

I am an insomniac.

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

I don't actually listen to much music since I need quiet to work.

I don't like to listen to music while I'm working.

I never feel like I have to hang on to the music. I don't expect that the music will go away. Ideas are the only thing I can point to that are permanent and fixed.

I live a super-healthy lifestyle not because it's sensible or that I'm contrite, but because I need to keep my focus on the music I'm making. To do that, I need to be wide awake.
