I think that music is a lifestyle that you sort of intravenously plug into and unplug from when you do and don't need it. Some people live it 10 hours a day, some on weekends. It's no more important or non-important than that.
It's about what happens on stage, whether we can deliver it in a hungry way that is who we are in our hearts.
My main camera is a Nikon D3. I use a French camera from the 1800s for wet plate photography, I use a Hasselblad sometimes. But to me the camera really doesn't matter that much. I don't have a preference for film or digital.
There's no difference if you're a supermodel or if you've lost both your legs. What are you doing that's beautiful or ugly on the inside?
