I don't allow challenges to trip me up.

You decide whether you look at your reality or live pretending these feelings don't exist.

There are things that I refuse to deal with except through my music... because I don't trust humanity that much, and I don't know if I trust me that much. But I trust the songs.

I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying.

I'm too wacky for most weirdos. Who am I to judge?

Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again.

People can be quite bullish with their opinions. That does not mean they have their finger on the pulse. It just means they value their own opinion.
