Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone.

In love we are all brothers and sisters

I don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered.

Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly; it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly; it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding.

Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.

We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.

I was captured by music at a really early age. I was really captured by it. Everything about it. It was my mother… It was my father… It was my play thing. It was my toy. It was the best thing in my life.
