Trust me, I'm telling you stories. ... I can change the story. I am the story.

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

Art can make a difference because it pulls people up short. It says, don't accept things for their face value; you don't have to go along with any of this; you can think for yourself.

I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices underwater. They are distorted.

Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling. It's the unraveling and it undoes all the joy that could be. .

It's just trying everyday to do the best you can and to enjoy what you have with the mixture of the venue and the sound and the crowd.

I'd always much rather be second choice on anything because it makes you work harder.
