Happy is the Heart that still feels Pain

What you see online isn't real. How many likes you get on Instagram doesn't have any bearing on how good of a person you are, how good your heart is. It's all for fun; it shouldn't affect you so deeply.

I think kids who have music in their lives are more focused. They have better attention spans. They excel more in their studies. They have a better sense of self-esteem and self-worth.

Kids can be cruel enough as it is, but cyber bullying or you're on Instagram and see your friends are all somewhere and you're not there. Then it's like, "Why am I not there?" Girls are using apps to change the way their faces look so the look quote-unquote perfect and beautiful. I feel like kids these days, it's gotta be just a big ball of anxiety.

For as long as we can trace back human life, there's always been some sort of music - ceremonies, rituals. It's part of the human makeup.

All the broken hearts in the world still beat

There's something about having an artistic outlet that is so important to the human mind and development. It's as important as any other subject in school. I think it should be mandatory. It's part of our genetic makeup.
