You're not only the spotlight in which you perform, but the shadows where you practice.

I like the idea of knowing that somebody somewhere made a difference so that your life could be better.

Somewhere in the midst of smudgy maps, following waters, surviving the storms, & deep, deep digging.. treasure is found.

You can't force music; It just has to come to you.

I definitely believe in the power of education. I believe the more people know, the more they are able to do what they can.

Music is such an intensely personal thing for me, and I knew if I was going to do it, it would be in my own way.

You may build walls in my path, but I will knock them down. then all your hard work only made me stronger, and all you have is gravel.
