I am very happy to be alive. There is much fun to be had. Music, movies, books, paintings, drawingsI hope you have these things where you are. If you have them, what does the real world matter anyway?

I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with

When I smile at the audience, I'm not smiling because I was told that you're supposed to smile to the audience. I smile because they're all smiling at me, and it's a great feeling to see all these happy people out there, and it makes me happy to see them happy.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.

As far as my solo record, I don't want a gold record or anything, I'm happy to be small and to have the people appreciate the music who really like me for being me.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
