My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

Talk about a struggling artist having to work against enormous odds ... But I love movies so much, so I'm going to do it.

When making a record, I could done a new face pretty easily and use all these different devices to hide who I am - or who I was - which really had very little to do with what I was trying to convey.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.

I'm a product of my environment.

I still have a very nonintellectual, nonjudgmental relationship with melody and the music as I hear it all in my head.
