My experiences always influence my writing, but usually only on an emotional level. I have experienced death of a family member and it's easy to dredge up those feelings and get them on the page.

I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes.

I think in most sports sometimes you need a little luck for the ball or calls to roll your way.

The editing process is a necessary evil. I can write until the cows come home but it is all garbage until it gets edited.

Humans are the greatest sacred resources.

Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest

The coach's main job is 20 percent technical and 80 percent inspirational.

Market like the year you are in.

With any level of success you get some non-musical things that come along - money, ego - and it's easy to lose your perspective and get off doing what you did to get there.

Air Canada. That's a good name for a Canadian airline.
