Whenever I visited China in the past, the relationships always felt superficial; there was no time where I felt those moments of conflict and delight that make you feel close to another person. But since I started touring there in 2004, I would always collaborate with local musicians, and that opened up a new level of intimacy.

I feel like my kind of music is a big pot of different spices. It's a soup with all kinds of ingredients in it.

You can enjoy many different types of music. I think that's something more Americans should think about.
