When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.

I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.

I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.

You always want to feel you're not the only one going through something unpleasant.

I can't imagine that anybody is as screwed up as I am.

I know a lot of actors who started out as musicians and have very successful careers as actors, but most people don't know them as musicians.

At this young age I am already sold on the idea of the dog. One of God's absolutely greatest inventions and one that needs no more tinkering. The dog is the perfect beast, companion, friend, shoulder to lean on, and scapegoat when too many cookies are missing. And a dog won't hold that against you, either. I am at peace sitting in silence with a dog.
