To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.

We're captive on the carousel of time, we can't return we can only look behind.

Keep a good heart. That's the most important thing in life. It's not how much money you make or what you can acquire. The art of it is to keep a good heart.

When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it's time for artists to make their mark.

I have no desires, save the desire to express myself in defiance of all the world’s muteness.
