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 studio work that I do allows me to connect with people around the world. You can't perform live for everyone, so having the ability to share my creative vision with others is very important to me as well.

It’s like flight, you’re flying… When you’re hitting something that’s turning you on, you get goose bumps. It’s a rush. It’s very exciting and that’s what I’m hoping to do to the audience.

I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.

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

If you leave yourself open to learning, then you can benefit and enjoy an incredibly rewarding and insightful experience. These experiences are the driving force in my life, and they keep me alive and inspire not only my music but also my everyday life.

I don't want problems solved for me. I want the fishing rod, not the fish.
