Music has always been my protection against the world, from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.

It's like you're surfing... The same wave that can be a source of pain can be a beautiful flowing grace and source of power. It's all a matter of how you respond to it.

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

I think the Internet is going to open up a lot of possibilities with music, and the shake-up of power is exciting to me.

I am a prince I have it all, and I hear your foot steps on the wall, I wait in silence for your call, and take a shot and watch you fall.

When you're a musician and you break new ground it resonates into the common consciousness.

I understand that transposing a song a half step can effect the believability of a lyric.
