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

Every time I'm close to you, there's too much I can't say, and you just walk away. And I forgot to tell you I love you.

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.

Theres beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, thats harder than others.

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

I like the idea that we build up these walls or rules or laws to maintain our reality, and when they fall away, you're left with a whole bunch of illusions.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.
