If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me. Don't judge or question. You are broken now, but faith can heal you. Just do everything I tell you to do.

But I'm a hot-blooded Italian by nature. Whatever the situation you present, I'm going to make something out of it.

Prescott National Forest is right on the edge of my home in Arizona.

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

I think artists are going to express things from an emotional point of view, that's their job, to suggest and interpret, and report what they witness. That's their job as artists, you're looking for the rub, where's the rub, you're a storyteller, you're looking for the rub, not necessarily the solutions, or you're not necessarily educated, you're not the winner of a debate contest, a national debate contest, you're not necessarily a person who has a doctorate in anything.

Once you take yourself too seriously the art will suffer.

I'm a lot easier to work with now than I have been in the past, for sure.
