The most consistent musical experience I had growing up was church music.

Man hurts man, time and time again. As we drown in the wake of our power, somebody tell me why?

How we absorb music is unique. I know what I do. When I'm listening to music, I tend to find myself in a song. That's what really makes you connect is if you feel what that song is saying.

I love being with my children. They're fascinating people.

To me, the human experience does involve a great deal of anguish. It's joyful, but it's bittersweet. I just think that's life.

I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die.

I need music like I need water.
