There shouldn't be anything absolute, except physics.
You treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords that come through your fingers, out of the keyboard.
You sort of have to become what you're wearing.
You get used to it when you feel like you're an artist.
You can't get anything done hanging out all day long.
When you're playing, you're playing something for the world to hear.
When you're dancing, you're dancing for people to see.
When it comes to luggage, I am an underpacker.
When I'm in the mood for room service, my favorite order is a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.
There's no better feeling than just going in and just working with someone and what comes out is something that the world knows about.
The sexiest woman musician is Alicia Keys.
The element of harmony is super important.
Some of us get a feeling when we hear music and we feel music, and you want to figure out how to continue to feel that.
So when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.
Right now, musically I'm inspired by everyday people.
