hard inspires lead number pinpoint share wanting
When we make records, it's hard to pinpoint one thing that inspires a record. It's usually a number of different things that lead to inspiration or wanting to write something down and share it with someone.
solo until work
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently.
music playing travel
I'm sure we'll be Tweetin' up the Twitosphere as we travel around the world playing music.
camera front modern music people reactions standing watching
It's been really interesting watching people's reactions to the new music, to the old music and also watching how modern young people will be standing in front of something going on like live music, and there's a camera in front of their face.
italian looked moustache waxed wore
I always looked up to my grandfather. He wore Italian zip-up CAT boots, and he had a moustache which he waxed into a twirl - now that is worth looking up to.
came drawing expression found music problem pursuits visual
Drawing and visual pursuits were first. Music came and found me in a way. Really, what it's about is creative problem solving, and music is a lot more an expression of that than painting is for me.
almost art difference draws identical intangible music nobody pen pulling sort wants
To me, it's like the difference between a pen and a paintbrush. Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from. Nobody really does. It sort of arrives when it wants to.
skins stronger looks
I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, that's now, but when it breaks away, there's a brand new piece of skin that's stronger than before. It's like creation out of chaos.
sex people bed
I haven't had sex with many people in my life, and everyone just assumes that I'm good in bed!! I guess that's a compliment.
feelings radio sound
Your music sounds better on the radio, for some reason. It's an amazing feeling. I hope it never goes away.
walks bike i-can
I get out on my bike almost every day. If I can't walk somewhere, I'll bike or skateboard.
moving feelings tea
Shakira's music isn't my cup of tea, but the way she moves her hips reminds me of the feeling you get when you climb the gym pole.
people eccentric idolized
I have always idolized eccentric people.
play effort band
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.
