It's important to have as much fun as possible while we're here. It balances out the times when the minefield of life explodes.

Life imposes things on you that you can't control, but you still have the choice of how you're going to live through this.

No matter how talented you are, not everyone is going to like you, but that's life. Stay strong.

Life will put many red lights in front of you, but sometimes we must push on the gas and trust God.

The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.
