The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.

There's no time for hatred, only questions. Where is love? Where is happiness? What is life? Where is peace?

Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality

I prefer the band situation. I prefer the relationship. Music is meant to be that way. It's meant to be interdependent.

My favorite kind of music is the stuff that stops time. You put something on to sit there and let an experience go through you. To look at yourself clearly through a song. It's true of all art, all mediums, but for some reason music has a direct line straight into people.

Sometimes if somebody you feel you need... the whole universe tells you that you have to have her, you start watching her favorite TV shows all night, you start buying her the things she needs, you start drinking her drinks, you start smoking her bad cigarettes, you start picking up her nuances in her voice, you sleep in safe sometimes the most dangerous thing... this is called Mojo Pin.

If you feel blocked, do not turn to others, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress.
