To go through this life and see it through - what it really is - and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.

It's not easy for a mother and son to sing a duet. You can't just sing about anything.

Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.

I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.

I write songs and I sing them from the deepest part of my existence and I hope they connect with the deepest part of yours.

You can't just say 'I love you,' you have to live 'I love you.'

The good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I've gotten happier so it's a damn good thing.
