Sometimes when I'm traveling, I feel a little bit dislocated, especially the transitions you make when you're traveling - you go to a different city every day.

I can really only can record at home.

I'm always anxious in introducing sounds that don't originate with the cello.

Last time I was recording, I was trying to loop on the computer, but it's really difficult because it's really different from looping on hardware.

I feel as though I can get an end result that works for me, but as far as recording techniques, I don't feel that confident in my abilities.

People tend to eat through the cello. They tend to take out the things that make it beautifully cello-y sometimes.

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

I have totally like an urbanite relationship to nature. I mean I'm not someone who hikes.

I don't really understand the natural world, I admire it and am a little bit afraid of its power.

I feel like we as human beings are trampling all over the natural world, but at the same time, we are totally in its power.

The Imagination of the Mind is the Treasury that although liable to theft, never ceases to grow.

Men in their position cannot afford to seem anxious about anything. You know that’s a sign of weakness.

If tears of sorrow are the echoes of things lost, what then are tears of joy?

There are poets, there are philosophers, there are spiritualists and me. I try to foot the bill of these mighty three.

Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired but by controlling the desire.

The possibilities are unlimited as long as you are true to your life's purpose.

Fear the sins that you commit in secret, because the Witness of those sins is the Judge Himself!

We all have need to be trained to see, and to have our eyes opened before we can take in the joy that is meant for us in this beautiful life.

I think it's so wrong to play the victim. There's too many brave women out there that just won't even tolerate it, you know?

In Europe and Britain they seem to be much more accepting and embracing of older bands, whereas in America if you've been out for three years, you're old, and I think that attitude stinks.
