I tend to avoid writing music about initial reactions to situations, like frustration or anger. I’d rather wait till I go through the problem, and write about the learning that took place.

Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing.

You have to give up some of the old so that you can make room for the new.

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.

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

I’ve always lived in the moment.

My new question was, What do you do when your dreams come true? My answer was: Find new ones.
