Go out on the stage as a human being and do not be afraid to show struggle in your music. It's a struggle in life and then struggle and then victory.

Clouds float in the same pattern only once.

Your humanity is your instrument.

Play and write music the way you want the world to be.

I always think of music as interior decoration. So, if you have all kinds of music, you are fully decorated!
