Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me.

Music is the love of my life. It's a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpected and meaningful.

Life and love go on, let the music play.

I don't worry about new young bands. The bounty of life is infinite and so is music and so are opportunities.

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.
