I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

Most of the stuff I learned to play, I learned in high school. I had a band in high school, a jazz-fusion thing, and I was the keyboard player. I was interested in how the instruments worked and the theory behind playing with them.

Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music.

Being a musician, you want to be able to do the hardest stuff there is. People would think it's classical, but in classical, it's all on the page and the difficulty is keeping up with the music.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.
