I think sometimes I get overly excited about adding things and having new ideas. You forget that more isn't always better.

I guess everyone has their own definition of what folk is or pop or whatever. I find it incredibly hard to describe music these days.

I think there is a fascination with choral music in general.

People digest and process music differently, and I'm sure that was the case even when I was a kid.

It is definitely much easier to feel that an album is disposable - to dismiss an album or delete the tracks you don't like or to just throw it into shuffle or whatever.

He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar.

An essential element of any art is risk. If you don't take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn't been seen before?

I can't imagine Revolution being quiet, unassuming, or bashful

He who eats my bread, does my will.

I must apologise because I know all writers have memories of being on the outer because it's the children on the side of the playground who become the dangerous writers.
