Water is my main state. If I time before I run - like, to digest, like, a good hour and a half or so to digest, I'll eat oatmeal. but I'm a vegetarian for the most part, so in general, I just eat grains and vegetables and fruit.
I went to school and studied music for a year at USC, which unlocked a bunch of doors for me in terms of my relationship to music.
I played trumpet in the school bands. I learned things I liked to play on my trumpet, but I didn't learn why this note goes with this note and why it produces that sound. Or how to create tension in the composition.
I started playing trumpet when I was 11 years old. All I wanted to be was a jazz trumpet player when I grew up.
I love my life and my mistakes and my triumphs - all of it.
When I was a kid, and it was time to go to college, I thought, 'College is for people who don't have the street smarts to make it on their own - get in a band, get in a van, and get rockin'.
