With music, you often don't have to translate it. It just affects you, and you don't know why.

I try to devote my afternoons to making music in my home studio, but it's a lot more fun hanging out with musicians and friends, and trying subtly to influence a band than making your own stuff.

It didn't even occur to me that I'm the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music.

You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
