And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

I don't know how to function without music. When I'm not making it, I'm listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.

When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.

For me, singing was real life, not two plus two equals four.

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
