As we breathe and live, have a conversation, and you look in someone's eyes, and you see a sunset or have an argument or read a book or see a painting or whatever you do, it influences you. And as you live your art, it changes and grows just like you and your soul or whatever you want to call it. For me, it's never-ending, I call it "the organizer of chaos." That's what I do with this and I present it in a way that I dream. So basically, I'm just sharing my dreams with all of you.

Thank God for the Italians, the most forgiving people of the world. And they sing so loud you can barely hear the music!

I like to employ the power of no. We all want to say yes, because with yes comes so much opportunity, but with the power of no comes focus and engagement.

If I wasn’t making music I would probably be in the woods with a big deer….Talking to myself.

My coolest job was when I was 12 and I was a dishwasher at the Three Pigs Bar-B-Que for $2.50 an hour. All the fleabags and stoners worked there, so that’s where I wanted to be.

I was very much in my own world, never the popular kid. But I had a great family, a great brother and mother.

I fail enough and I beat myself up enough. I don't need anybody else to do it for me.
