I think we have two very important missions in life. One is to find out who we really are and the other one is to taste as much of life and experience as much of life as we can.

I've always thought live albums were cop-outs.

What anybody else thinks about you is really of no consequence. It's what you think of yourself.

You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins.

All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.

Amateurs in professional situations make me very impatient.

In the last couple of years I've been facing down a lot of the demons of the past and trying to find out, who I am, It's something I think I'll be doing for the rest of my life.
