You are only as big as your experiences.

I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.

I prefer a three-piece suit myself. Very sixties rock and roll. But they're not too quirky. Businessmen could wear them.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single.

When you're in love, you've found your soul mate, you think life is going one way, and suddenly it's completely apparent it's not. You have to rethink your whole purpose.

There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust.
