Success usually breeds a degree of hubris.
If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.
Because I've been that drunk person in the club so many thousands of times, when I'm in an environment where people are drunk or on drugs, I certainly don't judge them. Because it's almost a given that for much of my life I've been way more messed up than them.
I will be very sad when global warming and toxins kill off all the toads and frogs and salamanders. Here's hoping we, as humans, figure out a way to be less stupid.
I'm not sure how healthy it is to shoot police helicopters with bazookas.
All of us little bald white guys wearing glasses kind of look the same.
My records are fairly quiet and my dj sets are really loud. And then the live shows are like a robot soul revue. So i understand people's confusion.
I honestly haven't thought much about what to play and where, perhaps i should...it seems like most musicians are better at that than I am.
I have nothing against bombastic music, but when it comes to making albums, I'd prefer to make music that has a sort of vulnerable subtlety to it.
I always just made music that resonates with me emotionally.
I'm offended by the is-ought fallacy, which has been used to justify slavery, women not being allowed to vote, children working in factories.
All human belief systems are inherently flawed.
My goal is to make one-not a hodgepodge, but just the sort of record that I would want to listen to.
My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.
