I've always worked to find really deep meaning of song and also at the same time having it covered in sugar, so it can be taken two or three different ways.

The wonderful news is that when a person with my lack of art background can be successful, then anyone can. I'm not super talented and had no art training. Nothing, nada, zip. No workshops or classes.

It's hard for me to play seated theaters because people tend to sit down and get a little bit complacent, so it's less energy. It's just very dry and dead. People start to feel like they're watching a movie. The environment when they walk into it, it's not standing room only, smoking and drinking and rock 'n' roll. So it's a little bit dangerous to do that.

You can't steal an artist's songs and also tell him he can't license that music to a commercial.

It's harder to put yourself in a place where you could easily be seen as a fake. But that's more interesting to me.

Captain Lone Wolf Gonzaullas was one of a kind. I'm sure he would agree to this truth, If you continuously compete with others, you will become bitter. If you constantly compete with yourself, you can become great.

I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.
