A composer knows that music is written by human beings for human beings and that music is a continuation of life, not something separated from it.
I love the intimacy of venues like the House of Blues. When everyone is packed in and so close to you, it makes you play differently. It's so much more fun to play because there's so much more high energy in a place like that.
The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.
