To me, this degree was an acknowledgment of my work in music.
When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didn't go over a cliff.
Getting a degree, being on Sesame Street... those were like real accomplishments to me.
In my thirties, I felt I had hold of one of the reins some of the time.
My philosophy is familiarity breeds contempt.
There are a lot of people I would have liked to have collaborated with, and would still like to.
