As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

Everything I do is collaborative. It's just my way. I'm really very interested in how the other musicians perceive the song.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.

I'm just trying to make my favorite music. That's how I work; I just do things based on the way they feel to me. I want to be touched by the music I'm making. Luckily, other people have shared that response to my work over the years.

My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.

When you're doing collaborative music, the relationship that forms is a very bonding kind of experience.

I think the music that you make, often it's even better if you identify with other people.

I put my emotions in my music and I want people to relate to that.

My music is an extension of who I am and what I went through and what I know musically.

There's another way of making music, by touching the lives and feelings of ordinary people.
