I have a musical ancestry as much as I have a family ancestry. Honoring those ancestors gives you access to a greater source of appreciation and information than you would have if you were just going on your own ego system.

It makes me crazy to think that somebody might attack my city or any other city.

I want to be able to look back and think that as long as I was going this, I did the best that I could.

I think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.

I've always believed that we could reach past genre -- we didn't ride the grunge coat-tails; we've always been on our terms.

I want people to see me happy.
