My life was a complete catatrophe. I was very, very sick from drugs and alcohol.

I absolutely love the Philharmonic. I also love rock guitar.

As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.

We want to have a spontaneous adventure. You can't plan an adventure, or it ceases to be one.

Ideally the point of music is community, not the player. Musicians are simply channels to link the audience to the music and to each other.

I feel a great responsibility to deliver for our audience ... I am like their servant, but there's only one honest way to lift people up, which is to feel genuinely elevated yourself. And the way to do that is follow your heart. That's all we try to do.
