Music is supposed to be interwoven into the fabric of society; it is not supposed to be a plaything that is there to serve the population's titillation of the moment.

To me, music was about being accepted and escaping from this crummy existence.

I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time.

I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.

If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.

There's nothing more satisfying than going to a market and meeting the person who picked the strawberries, or it's their farm that the strawberries came from, and giving them a fair value in exchange for what they're giving you.

You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
