I have noticed that these days, people don't want to take their time to succeed.

When I'm writing, those ideas are seldom inspired by music itself. I won't often listen to an artist and come up with an idea.

I was very conceptual about what I was doing; I had the first five albums planned out, and all the songs on every album, and the artwork. I always had these ambitious musical projects in mind.

We should not let negative influences get to us.

As a visual arts teacher, I have to keep my mind open. I have explores styles from pointillism to cubism.

I also got encouragement from my teachers at primary school but one person in particular who had a significant impact on my lean towards art is Mr. Luigi St. Omer. Mr. St. Omer was the one who always reminded me that I should not settle for less than greatness in my art. He saw that I had the potential and he helped me develop that talent.

Normally when I'm writing, in the beginning I don't think of lyrics at all. I'm just improvising.
