Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul. You've got to run like an antelope, out of control.
Anyone who writes knows that ultimately the majority of your time is spent alone in a room with a piano or a guitar, no matter what the project is.
There's so much excitement around the Phish tours, and if it stopped feeling that way, it would ruin everything we've done for seventeen years.
I've been sober for two-and-a-half years, My children are happy. In August, my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.
Swing will never sound as good as it did in the '40s.
The biggest sacrifice to me is to not be in an atmosphere where I can keep writing and moving forward.
I've always loved musical theater. It's a bit of a family tradition.
When you're a musician and you break new ground it resonates into the common consciousness.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with so many great collaborators in my lifetime.
As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.
I think the Internet is going to open up a lot of possibilities with music, and the shake-up of power is exciting to me.
I understand that transposing a song a half step can effect the believability of a lyric.
If there's one thing I discovered since I came back from hiatus, it's that you can't go backwards.
I am excited to get on tour, if I'm speaking to the Phish fans. I can't wait.
