I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.

The secret is planning your work and working your plan. If you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you arrive? You can't stumble upon your destination.

The day that music is taken for free by the majority is the day that the phrase sell out doesn't exist any more.

I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.

There are distractions, all around. There's so much media, for a young kid to battle against, to get to something soulful. You have to make a decision, on your own, what you can take from these people, if you can dig deeper. It's nice to be able to let people dig deeper.

We don't have to live up to the expectations of others. Passion is personal. As long as our passion is fueled with the right stuff then keep on plodding forward. I'll never be Mark Twain or Tom Clancy. But that's okay, because neither of them could teach you to mix a boundless number of grays, or where to place the catch light in a portrait.

I consider music to be storytelling, melody and rhythm. A lot of hip-hop has broken music down. There are no instruments and no songwriting. So you're left with just storytelling and rhythm. And the storytelling can be so braggadocious, you're just left with rhythm.

You want to figure out how you want to play the guitar what your niche would be. Well you just start digging deeper. When you're digging deeper in rock and roll you're on a freight train heading straight for the blues.

Your passion must be tempered with patience. Maybe long-suffering patience would be a better word.

Nowadays, everybody assumes, when the wake up in the morning, if they have a question, it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is, someone will answer their question.

Collectors are paying for our education by purchasing our art.

If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.

The most exciting rock 'n' roll band of the last 50 years who are still on the road today

Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly.

For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major.

Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs

It is not the style but the quality and emotional impact of work that makes it marketable. Unless we make art that connects with people, we won't sell much, no matter what the style or subject.

I am a commercial artist because I paint to earn a living. We who earn money from what we produce are all commercial artists.
