There's No Hierarchy In Suffering. I Think

There's No Hierarchy In Suffering. I Think Songs That Are Transcendent Are The Ones Where Everyone Can Feel Something From It, You Know?

It's Very Limiting To Us As A Species, The Concept Of Better-than/less-than. It Just Seems To Be At Its End. I'm Like, This All Fades To Black, And It's Gone. It's Dust. Choose Carefully What You Obsess About.

My Father Was A Jazz Tenor Sax Player. He Played In A Lot Of Big Bands. So I Had That Sound Around Me All The Time. The First Record That Really Caught My Ear Was Clifford Brown's 'brownie Eyes.' I Grew Up Listening To John Coltrane And Illinois Jacquet. This Is Where I Come From... I Love Improvisational Music.

I Stopped Beating Up On Myself. I Stopped Asking Myself Why I Didn't Sell This Number Of Records, Why I Don't Have Corporate Sponsorship. I Just Don't Buy Into Any Of That Anymore.

I'm Always Tryin' To Do Something New, Tryin' To Look Like A Beginner.
