I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through. ”

I have always felt I was more accurately a Hard Rock musician. ”

I feel safe and comfortable to do that once I know that the song structure around the bass part is very interesting and it satisfies me in a compositional sense. ”

I feel a little uncomfortable about endorsements. ”

Then, once I have lyrics, being able to shape them around a song is nothing new for me, I've been doing that for 25 years. The soul searching part of it, the spontaneous part of it, that was, and remains, a really terrific process. ”

I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word. ”

I can't remember the first song I learned to play on bass, but the first song I learned to play on guitar was 'For Your Love' by the Yardbirds. That kind of was the beginning for me. I thought it was a great song and I loved the open chord progression at the beginning of that song. ”

I love to write. It's my first love. ”

Playing live is such a total visceral experience, and really, as a musician, you're trained from the beginning to be a live performer. ”

It's hard for me to just practice without writing something. ”
