Music is the last true voice of the human spirit. It can go beyond language, beyond age, and beyond color straight to the mind and heart of all people.

Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.

If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration.

I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.

I grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.

Just because you have a hit doesn't mean you're good [at music]. Just means you got a hit.

My main concern when travelling around the world is finding a place to skateboard!
