When done right, music should breathe, be alive. It's not about getting it perfect, it's about capturing lightning in a bottle.

Artists are tuning forks. Their goal is to create resonance in the audience.

You think everybody's paying attention to what you're doing. No, they're paying attention to what's interesting to them.

Inspiration comes from displacement. Get out of your comfort zone, the rewards are legion.

It's a privilege to play music fora living. Even more, it's a privilege to have an audience. Respect that.

You can't fight hearts and minds with money.

If you're not a successful artist it's your fault.
