Everyone needs to realize why am I here? It comes in everyone's life; you ask why am I here? What am I doing? Once you are able to answer that question for yourself honestly, you have smooth sailing.

I love to create and that's what gives my soul the satisfaction.

I visit studios. Just to get the feel, the smell, and see what other people are doing. Not only listening to the radio, but going to studios, greeting musicians and artists, just getting a vibe.

Social justice has always been a part of my inspiration. For example, when the Vietnam War was going on, I wrote a song about that.

I was a songwriter and I've written some good songs, but there are lots of greater songs that I know I have inside yet to come out.

I think we all have a role to play in life.

In hindsight, I see the great value of family and how it moulded my life and kept me together. So now family means everything to me.
