Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas! ↗

My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops. ↗

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it. ↗

Just blow in it and sound bad for about a year and then make it sound a little bit better, and you get a little band together, and then you get a few jobs. You take four guys that sound half bad, but if they're 25 percent each, they can give 100 percent, you know? ↗

You make your mistakes to learn how to get to the good stuff. ↗

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers. ↗

The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing. ↗

When you make the right decision, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks. ↗
