I believe in dreams. I believe that every night on the planet everything that is, was and can be is dreamt.

My dad being a salesman taught me you can sell anybody anything if you've got the ability to believe.
If one more 'journalist' makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans' help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech.
