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.

I think there’s no greater joy than completing a song out of thin air. It’s like inventing something, but it’s invisible, you know? It’s weird. It amazes me. You can send it out in the world, and that’s the joy. It’s like giving birth to all these songs and letting them go like they’re your kids.

I love the sound of the wind in the trees and the song of the birds and the shuffle in the leaves of my many woodland friends.

Creativity is a religion. When you get into it, you will find your life becomes more spiritual.

Other people's lives are affected by how you are treating yourself and the way in which you are performing.
