I like feeling my way into different minds and experiences. It comes naturally and always has.
Both for my wife and myself, the personal friendships that have grown out of scientific contacts with colleagues from many different countries have been an important part of our lives, and the travels we have made together in connection with the world-wide scientific co-operation have given us rich treasures of experiences.
I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.
When it comes to relationships, I think I'm pretty experienced - you'd be surprised.
I had experiences or exposure to music in church. I went to a church, it was very unique. It was a predominantly African American Catholic church. So they would have - one mass would be traditional church music, and then the other mass would be gospel music.
It's very exciting to have a festival in the heart of Boston. It's an amazing experience to be in a city and to be able to walk in and out of a festival. I think that's part of what's going to make Boston Calling really special.
The National's favorite experiences as musicians are when we are collaborating with people a little outside of our world as a band.
After years of touring you experience music festivals that are mostly the same - where you copy and paste the same experience into a muddy field in California or a muddy field in England.
The more experience you got the more things you are able to go through, and the ups and downs through a season that you had I don't think it can do anything but make you that much better.
It was a dream come true to play for the University of Pittsburgh. My experience as a Panther is something that influences my life every day and I want to pay that forward.
