My anxiety level of my own work and what I'm doing and focusing on my art and all of that stuff? That's fundamental.
The round-up is an aggressive tradition. I'm trying to objectively be a steward of the tradition and what it means in its choreography.
I think musicians should stay off television generally. I get asked all the time. Those shows are just promoting insipid comedies. Who watches those shows? And whoever does I don't think my music would speak to those people. I don't even want those people to hear what I'm doing.
My only concern about art collaborations is that I never thought of myself as an Artist. My tax forms say Musician/Songwriter.
Art is … a reflection of a greater divine creation. There really is no separation.
