Being able to take musical ideas through every iteration is attractive to me. Granted, not everyone's going to want to listen to that, but it should exist.

I think music will thrive where it wants to.

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

I've always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.

I am of the opinion that the appreciation and the desire for what is good takes more study and insight than does the understanding and test for the best music and art.

I think music should be the basis of an education, not just something you do once a week.

Music to me is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.

My grand plan is that I can master having a better life by making sure I have a regular flow of songs. Then I can give myself time to tour or celebrate or write a film score.

Music should be truthful and real, but it should also be healing and uplifting.

As long as it's good music, that's what's important.
