You pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm okay, sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day.

Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didnt.

Hold on...Hold on to yourself. This is going to hurt like hell.

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

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.

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness, that brings me to my knees.
