The person who builds a character makes foes.

I want to be a reflection of what's going on and let people draw their own conclusions.

It's gotta be fun, if it's not fun it's not worth doing. Music is about having a good time feeling your soul, whether it makes you laugh or it makes you cry, just so long as you feel as much as you can. That's the mission of Pono.

I like it if people enjoy what I'm doing, but if they don't, I also like it. I sometimes really like aggravating people with what I do. I think it's good for them.

My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

Every junkie is like a setting sun.

Most pleasures, like flowers when gathered die.
