Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

Rock and roll doesn't allow you to grow up - especially if you're not trying very hard to.

The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.

You are only as big as your experiences.

I can't read sheet music, I have to just listen to it, and then just go for it.

Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Sing the song or keep it inside.

I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.

I prefer a three-piece suit myself. Very sixties rock and roll. But they're not too quirky. Businessmen could wear them.

Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Lose yourself in the music, not the fog

No man is so exquisitely honest or upright in living but that ten times in his life he might not lawfully be hanged.

Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.

I like to think I'm un-categorisable.

Now that Serbia is moving towards integration into Europe, the opportunities to get closer cooperation may very well exist.

The only part that's ever frustrating is just the deadline. If left to my own devices, I'd work for a year on something that doesn't need to be worked on for a year because I enjoy it.

As you go along, you realize you have ambitions but when you get there, you want something else, so you're moving very quickly.

I know what it's like to feel that fear and the need of affirmation and appreciation. To build confidence in yourself is the toughest thing.

I've always viewed myself as an achiever. I need to achieve for myself.
