I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.

There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I'd love to have a hit record. I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't like that.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

Through life's journey, may your feet rest on solid ground, your hands touch the prize of life, and your heart find contentment.

The only way that your work will truly find an audience is if it is genuine.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

Seize the day and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.

The heart of blogging is linking - linking and commenting. Connecting and communicating - the purpose of the Internet.

I don't feel like that many musicians are competitive with each other.
