I never got down with conveying a larger-than-life vibe.

I was a huge Beatles fan. The Stones, Dylan. Later on, I got into Stevie Wonder, and Bill Withers - he's one of my heroes. Al Green, too.

Furnishing a home is no different than going into the studio and making music. You want to make sure you've pared down all the extra details so that in the end, every stitch has a context uniquely yours.

I don't know if you can catch my vibe, but I'm a pretty laid-back guy.

I'm fiercely independent, but I'm also terrified of being alone.

I don't want to be an actor, but why not take these opportunities when they come to you? I'm not killing myself auditioning, chasing that dream.
