I like sparseness. There's something about that minimalist feel that can make something have an immediate impact and make it unique. I'll probably always work with that formula; I just don't know how.

I get to focus on being a musician sometimes, and I get to focus on being a vocalist sometimes.

You know when a song has a melody or some kind of element that affects you, and that is what I am trying to go for.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.
