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

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.

Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul. You've got to run like an antelope, out of control.

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

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.

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.

I'm not trying to pull the rug out from under anybody, but the music really does tell you where to go.
