Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.

As far as guitar picking, if I make the same mistakes at the same time every day, people will start calling it a style.

I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it.

A hundred years from now, people will listen to the music of the Beatles the same way we listen to Mozart.

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?"

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all the emotions of fear and confusion relating to my family.
