Quote

Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, It makes me think. I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

I love songs because by nature they are concise they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.

I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

I love being lost! I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone. I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people, we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart there's been people who have left my life and I don't have a problem with that.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

I think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.
