If somebody don't like something that I do, that's his or her prerogative. Just like it's mine.

Dreams, if they're any good, are always a little bit crazy.

Many times during auditions, I was told that I couldn't carry a note with a bucket, and that I sure couldn't play the piano.

Music is nothing separate from me. It is me... You'd have to remove the music surgically.

I really feel that if you're gonna be good, you gotta practice... Practice whatever the hell you do.

Live each day like it's your last, 'cause one day you gonna be right

My music had roots which I'd dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil.
