“I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and...” — Duncan Sheik Quote

I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it.

And frankly, when I made that record, hit songs were not what I was trying to achieve.

I'm a pretty big P.J. Harvey record fan and you can really hear New York in his record.

I mean, at the end of the day when I'm making a record, what I want to do is what I do.

But really important, perhaps most important is the craft; how you make your record, the creation of these sonic worlds you want your listener to hear.

After 20 years in the game, I was fortunate to get away from the game and enjoy my family, which was great for me.

I didn't even learn to play guitar until the movie 'Walk Hard,' which is probably fortunate because maybe I would have pursued it, and that would have been a waste of my time.

I've been fortunate in my career to have the opportunity to pick and choose the parts I play. I've also been lucky to always be involved with quality actors, quality directors, quality writers.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to do what I do for a living.

I've been very fortunate.
