Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.

When you're a parent, you sing better. It becomes a pure pleasure, rather than something I have to do.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

What I know for sure is that pleasure is energy reciprocated: What you put out comes back. Your base level of pleasure is determined by how you view your whole life.

I'm making music for other people to listen to for pleasure. And hopefully, later on maybe they'll listen to it and go, "That bass line, boy, did you hear the way those drums interacted with that?"
