It’s a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well.

Sometimes the knowledge you've been given in school or by an elder - 'this is just the way it is' - keeps you from accomplishing because it traps you in a box in your mind and limits your freedom to deliver.

Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away, but life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.

Truth is the number one element in whatever you do with music.

Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.

I don't really like to explain my songs.

As I understand life at different levels, I can use music to express what these levels feel like to me. Hopefully the listener can be transported to this understanding by listening to the music.
