Art is everywhere, and everywhere is art.
I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.
I feel like a little kid who just walked into a candy store. I think that's something to smile about.
Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving.
I actually believe 'Sustainability', as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it's this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.
I follow a dairy-free and gluten-free diet, which can be challenging in some places.
It's been really interesting watching people's reactions to the new music, to the old music and also watching how modern young people will be standing in front of something going on like live music, and there's a camera in front of their face.
I've been painting and drawing and taking pictures as long as I've been writing music - and I've actually been drawing longer than I've been writing music.
I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.
I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.
I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.
No one's played on the moon yet. No one's played in zero gravity. Some bands have played at the Pyramids of Giza, but we'd very much like to do that in the near future.
Being an artist for my well being and as a living, I live in a place of observance and interest in what I consider to be the most relevant questions.
I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate.
Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
We are very fortunate to live in this country, but at the same time, the reason the forces are so much more destructive here is because they are faceless.
To me, it's like the difference between a pen and a paintbrush. Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from. Nobody really does. It sort of arrives when it wants to.
I always looked up to my grandfather. He wore Italian zip-up CAT boots, and he had a moustache which he waxed into a twirl - now that is worth looking up to.
I have always idolized eccentric people.
Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.
