Without music, life would be a mistake.

When life itself offers no order and meaning, the musician creates an order and meaning from the sounds of the earth, which flow through his instrument.

How little is required for pleasure! The sound of a bagpipe - without music, life would be an error.

A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.
