I do know the older I get, the more I'm referencing music I heard as a kid.

There's so much music out there & so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument.

It's incredible how one song or even one little phrase or just a few notes, if you really concentrate on it, can be a kaleidoscope of possibility.

Music doesn't hurt anybody, that's what's amazing. Everything is in there, every kind of human emotion, from the darkest to the lightest. And it has power. Unbelievable power.

Every time I play with someone, not just a new person, but someone I've been with all along, that's where I really learn.

In order to crash the party and be a clown with your own skit, you had to be there for quite a while.

'Legion' was a lot of fun to shoot. It was a real unique apocalypse scenario that takes place in a diner out in the desert. Very much like a drive-in B-movie, but in a good way.
