I believe we are all connected to other people. I am connected to people who are suffering. We all are.

Children are wonderful, and they add to my whole life.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.

Fitness has always been one of the top priorities in my life because that's the way I grew up, with soccer being the sport of choice.

My greatest accomplishment is the freedom for doing what I want to do with my music...I love my freedom so I'm happy I am a free artist.

Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.
