For me, making music is a continuous learning experience, and I think that it feeds itself.

I like it when I go into a cinema and I'm not aware that I'm there; I'm totally involved in the film for two hours.

My brother, who's ten years younger than me, worked with me in the studio when he was very young. He's a guitar player and does programming as well. To have the working and personal relationship coincide has been very natural.

I love movies. And sometimes it will be a case where I don't notice music.

Most of the people that work for me are my friends, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I talk out of experience that relationships don't get messy; it's our heads that are messy. People's expectations and beliefs screw up relationships.

I've talked with friends about this: when you write about yourself, that's what people connect to. When you write a sermon or a lesson, that may not reach people. I've learned a lot from people who have been writing about themselves.

Sick people, particularly those with serious conditions, greatly prefer the company of their friends and family to residence in a hospital or nursing home.
