When everything else failed, we can still become immortal by making an enormous blunder.
My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

The joy of responsibility for the first time in my life.
