“My whole drive is to make sure that music is a common space where we search for beauty and share it. It needs to be louder than any conversation. That's where we have to go as a human race.”

“I've moved around so much my whole life, and I've gotten so used to being the Other in situations - the foreigner, the outsider. The first time I've ever felt like there was no separation between me and the other elements was in music.”

“I was born in Evanston, Illinois. I spent my elementary and part of my junior high school years in a D.C. suburb. And then I spent my high school years in Minnesota. And then I spent my college years in Colorado. And then I spent some time living in China. And then I spent three years in Vermont before moving down to Nashville.”

“I know that I can become the best fighter in the world and be in the greatest-of-all-time conversation if I just stay dialed in to what I'm doing.”

“The fans pay their money and, either rightly or wrongly, they get to say anything they want to you when you are at a place of work. Sometimes you just can't take it or you don't want to take it, so you give them a bit back. But once I engage in conversation with them, I then have an overhanging pressure on me.”

“What frightens us most in a madman is his sane conversation.”
