It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

Music changed my life. I don't know who I would be without it. Don't ignore even the smallest glimmer of passion in your soul, run towards it with everything you have. It could change your life.

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.

That's the problem with a lot of things these days. Everything is too full now; we are spoon-fed everything. All songs are about one thing and one thing specifically, there is no shading, no nuance, no mystery. Perhaps this is why music is not a place where people put their dreams at the moment; dreams suffocate in these airless environs.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

My driving philosophy about making music is that you can reduce it all down to one note if that note is played with the right kind of sincerity.
