Whether a person is spiritual or not, we all seek to get away from the stress, anger, and anxiety of everyday life. Some people drink, do drugs, or do worse to escape, and they hurt themselves in the process. Some people listen to music, mine included, and feel better.

I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.

My father taught me that one of the most important abilities in life is to be able to take the pain and persevere, and for years this lesson had served me well.

The love I have for my daughter is completely unconditional, and it is the most important love in my life.

Focused will is incredible. If you have a dream and you don’t give up no matter what obstacles come up, then life’s problems will fall away and you will get what you want. It happens. It works.

I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.

I believe we're responsible for everything that happens to us.
