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

I make the kind of music I like.

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment.

I'm fortunate I have this coterie of musicians around me to help take music to next level. Being surrounded by so much creative energy, so many creative people really feeds that creativity in me.

I feel completely fortunate to have this outlet for something I don't really feel like I have a choice in, to make music. I've got to make it.

I try to make sure that the Buddhism is more or less implicit in the music rather than explicit.
