You can create art that makes people feel better.

If you came to my house and said, Well, here's the new Katy Perry record, I would give it a listen, but these records are constructed by producers in production houses with no human beings playing on them and it's interesting, but we grew up with human beings playing on records.

People tend to forget that we tie our life history to music like the soundtrack to your life in many more ways than just having a hit record on the radio.

I think as a human being, if you can do something to impact someone's life, that's about the greatest accomplishment you can have.

The longer you live, the longer you hear the repetitiveness of things. So, it's hard to get excited about new stuff.

If you're asking me have I purchased a CD, a DVD or downloaded a current artist? The answer is no.

Just ask yourself what record you played over and over again when you were depressed or what record made you really happy? Those will never change and you should never be embarrassed by it.

Have pride and entertainment. I think that a lot bands just don't know how to do it anymore or they lost interest in it or don't care and are just cashing a paycheck.
