I saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious.

A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.

Music fathoms the sky.

Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.

Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance... poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music.

Pop music will never be low brow.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

I write music every day.
