The truth is I want to make music that people enjoy.

If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.

I want to make music that I like; not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.

Some people don't understand that I - as an artist and a person - I want to make my own decisions and create the music that I personally like.

Ultimately, I love making music more than anything. And I want to do that for ever. I don't want be on the top. I just want to keep doing what I'm doing.

That's what I've tried to do: I've tried to make music that I really love.

I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.

I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.

The way that I've always gone about making music, the rule of thumb, has just been to make what I love.

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.
