Please Don't Kill Me, I'm Nice.

As A Composer And As A Musician I'm A True Believer - And This Is Not To Be Overly Diplomatic - I'm A Believer That There's Artistry In Everything From A Lawn Gnome To A Desk Chair To A Symphony To An Andy Warhol Painting. There's Art In Absolutely Everything.

I Play Mostly Guitar, And I Played Drums In My Brother's Band For A While Growing Up.

I'm In A Real Minority As Far As Having Really Supportive Parents In Regards To The Arts. They Never Batted An Eye As Far As Not Letting Me Do That Stuff. That's Invaluable. I Can't Believe How Unabashedly Supportive They Were About Everything, Between Music And Acting.

I Want People To Know That There Is Nothing More Badass Than Being Yourself.

We Are A Categorically Obsessed Culture, Where We Have To Compartmentalize Everything In Reference To Another Thing, Like, 'what Does It Sound Like? Does It Sound Like This?
