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

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.

Focused will is incredible. If you have a dream and you don’t give up no matter what obstacles come up, then life’s problems will fall away and you will get what you want. It happens. It works.

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.

The most important battle is one to conquer yourself.

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

That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.
