What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people.

Just because people play songs with great technique doesn't mean the records are better.

When I play live, I feel how the audience is going and follow and lead at the same time.

I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.

I'm responsive to my public, but I also follow my heart.

Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I think the ordinary guy has just as much right to say 'This is a good song' as somebody who is in the music business.

I approach everything in my life the same way; if it feels right, I know it.
