I make the kind of music I like.

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

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

I privilege the music over the lyrics.

I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.

Happy music doesn't tend to move me much.
