It takes years to develop into the kind of human being you want to be.

It's very important that we instill some respect for the parents. In America especially, the kids are unruly, screaming at mommy and daddy, running the show.

I like doing nothing, actually. Doing nothing is better thing when I am not working.

I have found that children are the most open-minded of all my audiences. They are not set in their ways. They are open to ideas.

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.

I try to make my music interesting to me first, then hopefully other people will find it interesting, too.

It don't last forever, the pain. Realize that tomorrow is coming. Move further from this pain and this stress.
