Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, It makes me think. I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.

If it's possible to have an enemy without making it personal or moral, then that's what I'm trying to do.

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

I think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.

If you've ever sang in falsetto, you know that your throat is between your voice and your mouth. In a standard voice, you sing from your belly. And when you sing in a falsetto, you're blocking that. It gives it a filter. It gives it a character. It's less revealing.

As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.

Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.
