Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

One of the inescapable encumbrances of leading an interesting life is that there have to be moments when you almost lose it.

If life gives you limes, make margaritas.

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.

Life is a climb and it's a struggle getting to the top but the drop to the bottom can be quick and so I think you have to embrace every moment of the day.
