My friends and I are crazy. That's the only thing that keeps us sane!

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.

Even if you have a terminal disease, you don't have to sit down and mope. Enjoy life and challenge the illness that you have.

I am confident there is a cause for everyone. Think of how you can contribute; we all have different skills.

Don't play everything (or every time); let some things go by... What you don't play can be more important than what you do.
