The rules of life are made up. The rules only exist in your mind.

I'm always thinking about the next record. I've got like 20 different themes and then I'll scratch the themes. It's a learning process.

Life doesn't come at you. It comes from you.

I'm dreaming of sleeping next to you and feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town I'm counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes And they all fall down. - Sleeping to Dream

Creating the record is like digging up the earth, planting your seeds and waiting to see what happens.

I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.

I use music and mantras that transform my thoughts from the negative to the positive. If I'm thinking the world is a horrible place, I can transform my life by saying, 'I won't give up', 'I won't worry my life away' and 'I won't hesitate no more', using these lyrics to change my experience. That is, I believe, what makes me seem like a positive person.
