No one is born with hate in their heart.

We're all gonna land, we don't have rocket packs that last forever. But these things that we love, these things that give us purpose, these moments along the way are our parachutes. So I feel very fortunate to have all of these. Art and my family are pretty much my biggest parachutes.

I have a split - of my real home-life side that's real-life, and then the creative side that is not necessarily real-life, but it intersects my real-life so much.

Where my heart lies is in the real-life, but at the same time part of it lies in this creative realm where I need to go in and put out that fire, scratch that itch, in order to be all rounded.

Love what you do and who you truly are. Be willing to die for it. If you are true to yourself, you can never go wrong

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

Having kids had a big effect on me, but nothing more than when they started to get older- that really made me realize how fleeting each moment is.
