I prefer playing in the studio because you have much more control over things.

If you are a musician and you dont show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.

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.

When you are live you never know what is going to happen.

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

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