Right now I just finished writing the music for a Rugrats feature film and the third week of September I go to London, and the Orchestra is going to perform the score.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

Rebellion is obsolete - change things from the inside working out.

My major was Fine Arts and Education thinking I would become an Art Teacher. I couldn't visualize myself as an art teacher, thinking how it wouldn't work.

Choose your mutations carefully...

It's people who write music because they are obsessed that I like; because they have something to say and no other way to say it.

If you're in music just to become a big, fat rock star, then I probably don't like your music to begin with.

To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.

Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.

As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.

I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.

If it is only one thing in life that you have or allowed to discover, then it must be your significance.

Mindfulness helps you understand that the past is gone, can’t be changed and all the lessons are already learned.

Desire is the very essence of man

Forget about style; worry about results.

And yet here I am. Broken and bleeding on the inside, heartsick, I am here.

When the very source of creation is within you, all the solutions are within you. The problems are just created by you.

This is music that will disturb your imagination and delight your heart-a rare combination.

Words are spiritual containers.

A museum of accidents is needed. This museum already exists, it's television.

All trust involves vulnerability and risk, and nothing would count as trust if there were no possibility of betrayal.
