I have a lot of survivor insticts, and I know when to quit. I know when to go forward it my life, but not everybody does.

Stop thinking you have to go to big industry to have a big life, because it's not the truth.

Mackie is an electronics recording company backing me, and they're willing to invest giving equipment to schools that I choose, and they've already started doing that.

I want to break the old paradigm of thinking that if you're successful, you have to crash and burn-that all of this won't be there tomorrow.

My mentoring program is pretty specific, it's about self-empowerment, about being able to find solutions through teamwork. That's one of my first goals.

I think people are basically unhappy working their jobs, and we all need to have that thing that gets our juices flowing.

If a person ever came to me as a fan and tried to go out on a date, I wouldn't. I've had enough kind of crazy experiences in that department.
