I'm an eternal optimist with a small degree of cynicism.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

Change and growth is so painful. But it's so necessary for us to evolve.

I do think music and the arts are imperative for our kids for their creative learning and their emotional education, which breeds better adults. I'm doing what I can to try and pick up the slack and I applaud anyone who tries to give back to their community.

I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else

Don't let your life pass you by, weep not for the memories.

I will rememeber you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by and don't forget all your memories.
