I didn't really hear any other music other than what my dad was working on until I was 12. My recollection of hearing other music was that I liked some things that I heard but I always thought, 'Where's the rest of it?' It didn't have the same amount of detail or instrumentation or imagination in the arrangements. ↗

— Dweezil Zappa

Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful. ↗

Now as a musician, if you have it within you, you can create your own reality. Believe me, it's a novelty. ↗

Right now, I've never been more impressed by the new bands that we meet. I may be 10, 20 years older, but we're all on the same page about culture, music and life. ↗
