The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.

Music itself is a great source of relaxation. Parts of it anyway. Working in the studio, that's not relaxing, but playing an instrument that I don't know how to play is unbelievably relaxing, because I don't have any pressure on me.

Forget what life used to be, you are what you choose to be. It's whatever it is you see that life will become.

These days I seem to think about the things I forgot to do for you and all the times I had a chance to.

I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.
