I learned that once it's over, it's really over, and to not take anything for granted.

I believe animals should be respected as citizens of this earth. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life.

I pray to the architect that designed me. I'm grateful.

I've learned that each day is definitely a gift.

Life will always change, and I'm always thinking about how to have a good-enough attitude to roll with the changes of life, of an ever-changing landscape.

Walking my dogs, playing with my kids - all of that is really good stuff to keep me centered.

As an artist and a songwriter myself, I like to feel connected to modern culture and watch how sounds change.
