When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.

Music is a safe kind of high.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
