My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.

The Spirit speaks directly to our hearts through music. That's why music has always had such power to move people into positive action.

Running away will never make you free.

I've worked so hard to eliminate the inner geek from my life. I suddenly realize I have no patience for those people who still have their geeks showing. Now I see why being 'normal' has been so important to me.

The more honest you can be, the less you have to hide... when I have nothing to hide, I have everything to give.

In my career I defined myself by my music, and the danger is that one defines oneself based on popularity. As you know, that goes up and down, and you can't judge how you feel about yourself based on what your sales is.

I'm happy about the fact that my audience is very open to new music. They're dying for new music. So all I got to do is get up there and show them what I'm doing, and they go oh yeah, I like that.
