I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that.

It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best. To make it about the artist and to dwell upon biographical information can only make it singular, and I am really, really disgusted by that.
