Music is my life, if I am without music or if I can't sing any more, I die, I'm nothing... because music is everything.
It was not coincidental that we chose what's left If the universe has a will I think we are part of it Tender and precious How many times have I searched for something Found and lost it Since then?
I guess the very first thing is to own your true self, and that includes achieving the point of not lying to others; the first step should be not lying to yourself.
Everyone has a secret. Right? Of course I have a secret. I think maybe you too?
If people will listen, I will go anywhere in the world!
I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.
I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.
I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.
If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.
If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them.
It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music
I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.
I have trouble voicing my thoughts... I can't communicate very well that way.
In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.
