I use the audience as my color palette, my instrument.

The audience is like my instrument. It's not just me up there, it's collaborative.

When you worry your face will frown, that will bring everybody down, so don't worry BE HAPPY!:)

Part of our responsibility as parents, as adults, is to set examples for children. But we have to like children in order to be really happy fulfilled adults

Inviting audiences to open up and hear things differently is an important part of what I do. But I still love to sing songs with words, too.

Musicians are the architects of heaven.

I think we listen to music because we want to be changed. Music is not solely for our entertainment. Music has such tremendous power to bring joy. To me, that's our job as artists. Not happiness, not a groove, whatever. You must bring joy. I think that's the assignment. I have no doubt about it.
