Quote

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people it doesn't sound good to me.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?
