I've had so many [life lessons], but the more I've walked through tough times, the stronger I've become. I truly believe anything is possible if you fully manifest it. I've been to the top and I believe I've been to the bottom as well. Respecting yourself is key - physically and mentally. It's OK to take care of yourself.

I have removed a lot of negative influence in my life and try to surround myself with positive people. I have a much more simple life than the old days.

Performing is always my biggest rush. The energy is boundless from a great crowd. I truly believe in energy as a force that is exchanged, especially in a performance situation. You give your utmost and the audience gives it back tenfold.

Have compassion towards each other, including animals. Love and respect every living being on this planet - a key factor to a greater society.

Creating music, visual art, producing music and film are always at the forefront of my life.

Pure passion equals love.

I've been to the top and I believe I've been to the bottom as well.
