Bad music can make you weak.

Everything you do is challenging, hopefully, because if it's not, it's boring.

The environment is rarely put on tape, or if it is, it's so abstract that most people never realize it. They just don't know what it means. But if you can show it to them, then that's what becomes the main instrument.

You're not born with certain skills; you have to acquire them.

There are those who make music and movies in a linear way: They plan them, they have a script. Of course, you have to have a script sometimes, but that alone isn't enough.

I just feel that music is a great life, because it's very rewarding. It's a gratification. You do this for yourself, and you also do this for other people.

Needless to say, you've got to have someone who can speak for you.
