When you sit down and there's nothing, and then you write a song and there's something, that's the most extraordinary feeling.

I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.

I've realized that I love all forms of music and get excited when any artist goes crazy and creates something that is an experience.

I think it's almost a law of nature that there are only certain things that hit an emotive space, and that's what was always special for me about music: it made me feel something.

Music had been my first love among the arts, and I was fascinated by it, as I still am.

There's no doubt that there's certain songs and arrangements of music that release a chemical reaction in my brain. This sounds a little goofy, but I really believe that. It's such a euphoric experience that I sort of want to chase that experience as often as possible.

Music is always a creative process that comes from the heart. It's a feeling, a vibration, that we ride on.

What is this? It's music to get a brain seizure by.

Earlier in my life, I performed a lot of music. Some of it because I felt it was a demonstration, or a representation of certain intellectual concepts that were very exciting and important.

I started to see this common theme with the songs that I was writing or co-writing, and it all had this really strong, independent point of view that I had subconsciously been craving from the music scene.
