I'm a person of the arts. I love the arts very, very, very much. And ah, I'm a musician, I'm a director, I'm a writer, I'm a composer, I'm a producer, and I love the medium. I love film very, very much. I think it's the most expressive of all of the art mediums.

I'm interested in making a path instead of following a trail, and that's what I want to do in life - in everything I do.

Escapism and wonder is influence. It makes you feel good, and that allows you to do things. You just keep on moving ahead, and you say, 'God, is this wonderful - do I appreciate it.'

When I perform, I lose myself. I'm in total control of that stage. I don't think about anything. I know what I want to do from the moment I step out there and I love every minute of it.

I love animals because all they really want from you is love. Too bad that's even too much to ask for from some people.

I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses.

The distortion of the truth bothers me.
