agreement light feelings
When the lights go down, that's 30,000 peoples lives colliding. Everyone there working is working for that moment, everyone watching is watching for that moment. It's when you're all in agreement about what you're all doing so it's a wonderful feeling of togetherness and possibility.

I just want to make the best music of all time with my best friends.
religious art latin
The word spirit comes from the Latin word for "breath" - spiritu - and the origin of the word spirituality has to do with breath and life force, the mysteries of the ancients and all this. The word is very suspect in much of the art world - the Western art world. Certainly, spirituality has become divorced from religious.
home thinking dancing

More idiots should just shut their mouths.

I don't mind not being cool.
jokes
Anything where we're the butt of the joke, no one tells us about it.
jobs crazy real
The word mystical is an even worse word than spirituality - that artists take drugs, and then they add some crazy extra thing to what we all know is real. But our job as artists or as human beings is to investigate what we really think is real.
glamorous bits
There is something glamorous to me in taking a bit of a beating and keeping on going.
music mean sound
I don't mean to sound like a cheap prostitute, but you can call me what you like.
