You Do Have To Live Through Things,

Practice. Learn And Then Unlearn - That's The Trick In Finding Your Own Style Of Playing. You Can't Merely Emulate, You Have To Innovate, Or At The Very Least Create Your Own Path Into The Process.

Music Has Always Been My Constant, My Salvation. It's Cliche To Write That, But It's True.

I Think You Should Be Prepared For A Green-screen Cgi At All Times.

The School Systems At My Childhood Had Enough Money Or Enough Parent Involvement That They Felt Like Learning Music And Songs, And Exploring The Whole Pop Or Classical Canon, Were Just As Important As Algebra Or Biology. Music Is Such A Visceral And Tactile Experience For A Kid, And To Just Replace That With Video Games Or Something That Doesn't Have The Same Sort Of Physical Impact Would Definitely Be A Poor Choice, And Have A Negative Impact.

I Think One Of The Reasons That We Are Able To Actually Keep Making Music That We Want To Make, And That We're Inspired By, Is Because There Is A Certain Amount Of Instability Constantly, And I Think That Mirrors The Instability Of Any Given Life.
