Cancer is like a cockroach. It just comes back stronger. I'm tearing apart the immune system of the cockroach and seeing how it ticks. I've opened up my own pathology center.

We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.

You only have 12 notes. Do what you want with them.

I don't really know what inspires me to write the music I do, but usually, the music will set the tone for the lyrics.

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.

The one thing I do have is good ears. I don't mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.
