Whatever it is your heart desires, please go for it, it's yours to have.

When I write a song it's always from the point of view: makes the song the best it can be.

Love is a constant source of inspiration, surprise, and wonderment.

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.

My daughter is almost a young lady. She's going to be 10 years old in December and I want to be there day-in and day-out.

The reason I’m not more political is because I have music. And from a young age, I needed it. After prison, my father came to America, joined the Army, fought in Vietnam - and was exposed to Agent Orange. He died a slow, horrible death. Music was my escape.

I'm careful what I put out there into the universe, musically. I don't take it lightly.
