I think my Buddhist practice has a profound influence on my life and encompasses my creative projects.

A real foolproof way to do it is play your stuff by hook or by crook and build up a grass roots following.

The difficult thing about a pop record is that you're given guidelines: it has to have 3 choruses, and then it must be between 3 minutes fifteen seconds and three minutes forty-five seconds.

My first two records were more energetic; Phantom Moon is subtle, quiet; so these various reactions are just something I expected.

Happy music doesn't tend to move me much.
