The other thing that has made playing live for me more enjoyable is the audience. I never knew I had such heartfelt, loving fans.

Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to.

If everyone would look for that uniqueness then we would have a very colorful world.

I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.

I have always known that it comes from deep within myself. I always knew what sound I wanted, and how I wanted to play. I knew everything, it just had to be developed.

If you copy then it is not self-expression.

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.
