You gotta have a good lawyer when you're dealing with the devil. My contract is way better than Robert Johnson's. If you relax and have no fear, and you're with the flow of the wave, you can ride it. But if you try to fight it, you'll wipe out. We've kind of always seen it as a thing where it's an escape.

The way I look at it is like being a filter. The music exists in the universe, and if you're lucky enough, or strong enough, to get your ego out of the way, the music comes through you. I'm only happy with moments. I think I'm happy until a certain amount of time has gone by, and then I want to do something else. After the moment, I'm just looking for another moment.
