A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.

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

I believe we're responsible for everything that happens to us.

It’s really strange, but they speak to me — the notes and the chords. So when I hear other people’s music, I can feel the composer. Whoever created that, I can see in their soul.

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

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.

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.’
