I just know that I'm a fan of all different kinds of genres. You're supposed to be free doing music, and that's how I feel.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.

To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

I play the songs, and we're doing it live, and everything happens, and then we capture it like that. Rick is a genius. It's so easy, because he loves music. You're not gonna find a person who loves music more than Rick. He's dedicated to preserving it.

I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
