people albums needs
When I was young, I used to need other people's albums and I got very involved with their music and it meant a lot to me.
people rooms living-room
When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.
thinking self trying
I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.
long way havens
I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.
art want fame
Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.
reading insightful want
The other day I was reading a blog and I linked over to Streisand's Web site, and it was amazing politically. She's so insightful and incisive. And she also says whatever she wants.
character views challenges
I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment?
kids who-i-am identity
Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.
art trying performance-art
I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.
fit boxes
I just don't fit into the box.
cousin brother way
I grew up with a lot of brothers and male cousins, so I had to worm my way in to get heard. But that's sort of what excites me.
bones whole-life feels
I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.
mean doe things-change
What does it mean when something changes how it's always been?
sound going-out wave
Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.
