When it comes down to music, I have no balance. I am 100 percent. It is like full throttle. Five hundred miles an hour.

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.

Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.

I tend to stay up very late at night, so I wake up later in the day. This allows me to be in the middle of my workday when I am onstage at night.

Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.

The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
