From the first time someone says, Who do you think you are? we learn how to repress.

You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.

The work is constant. There's a time for rest, but I don't believe in getting comfortable just because everyone says you've arrived.

I get really afraid of those little comforts, those things that make us feel like we did something great, because I've done nothing. I've done nothing. I mean that sincerely.

When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.

Sometimes we all need to take time and give thanks.

The honor to me has less to do with the award. To me that translates in the relationship that I have with the audience, and if my music is helpful to them, that's the award.
