I don't read reviews because if they're bad I'm devastated and if they're good I get a big head.
I do 100 shows a year, but I do it in fits and starts, as opposed to going on a long run.
What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.
