Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.

My father once said, ‘If the whole world wants to go left and you feel like going right, go right. You don’t have to follow. You don’t have to make a big deal about which way you’re going. Just go. It’s very easy.’

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.

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 really and truly believe that music represents humanity’s soul.

If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.

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