The thing about my music is, there really is no point.
Without freedom of expression, good taste means nothing.
I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.
As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.
If you follow every dream, you might get lost.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly, democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.
Holding back is so close to stealing.
I am succeeding because people are talking about how they would do it better.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
Out of the blue and into the black
Every wave is new until it breaks.
Steve Jobs was a digital pioneer, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl.
There's more to a picture than meets the eye.
