Going out and playing music - that's what I do. I don't do much else.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.

Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
