My parents were always very supportive and accepting. They even shared my curiosity for life, or perhaps I theirs.

Playing live is a lot of fun. You get one shot, ... But at the end of the day, it's all rock 'n' roll.

I struggle with how humankind ended up this way. We made ourselves slaves to money, and we all have to work and be a part of this thing when time is always ticking. And before we know it, a decade has gone by, and did I really get to do everything I wanted to do or say everything I wanted to say?

I had never made a record before, so I didn't know anything about it. I don't know anything about knobs, frequencies, tones.

The more I travel around the world, the more I see people want the same thing - to be happy. We wouldn't be in a monetary system if we didn't have to work, so if my music can contribute to happiness, then that's my main responsibility.

The foolish idea that my music can actually make a difference in someone's life - that right there is proof that it's working. It makes me feel great, it really does.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon would often write a song a day, so I have the same workmanlike philosophy.
