As Hard As You Try And Create

The First Time I Ever Recorded, Which Was Into My Boom-box, I Was Like, 'wow, Check That Out.' It Sounded Great. The Narcotic Of It Was So Intense - It Was Pleasurable. I Was Like, 'you Sound Like A Band.' Then I Ended Up Spending The Rest Of My Life Trying To Chase That Initial High Again.

I Consider The Piano My 'main' Instrument And Have Been Playing For As Long As I Can Remember. It Seems To Me That I Might Have Come Up With Something Resembling A Song As Early As 4 Or 5 Years Old.

I Think Sometimes My Humor Is Extremely Dry, And A Lot Of Times I Would Say Things That I Thought Were Very Funny But... I Have A Reputation Of - People Think Of Me As A Very Fundamentalist, Humorless Fellow.

I Never, Ever Had It In My Mind That I Wanted To Be In The Record Industry, Because I Still Contend That The Record Industry Is An Insidious Affair. It's This Terrible Collision Between Art And Commerce, And It Will Always Be That Way.

The Only Thing That Drives Music Is The People Who Are Making It.
