As long as I'm still growing as a musician, it keeps me inspired.

I've got this diverse education, growing up in classical music and existing between that and music that is more visceral, so for sure, I've always been interested in music from other cultures.

I'm not trying to take over the world, but I find it really rewarding to write, and I thrive on learning.

There is a kind of adventure- and risk-seeking audience in classical contemporary music that is really empowering and part of what draws me to it. The people that come to these concerts are open-minded and curious.

You have to remember one thing: Football is entertainment; it's not life or death. Once the game is over, you're already talking about next year and the draft. It's just entertainment.

This game is crazy. You're up and down, up and down. When you feel good, you want to be there every time for the team.

I'm quite a shy person, but I know I'm a good football player. That's just the way I am. That's the way I grew up. My grandmother brought me up, and she is the same way. She's understated, but she knows what she's worth.

I love music, and I love sports. I played sports all throughout school.
