But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That's a kind of salvation right there.

Music was my oxygen. It's what saved me from being a really lonely and scared teenager.

But back then the thing that saved me was the music, and it's certainly the music that saves me now. The music, my family and my friends and everybody around me.

Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life.

When I say music saved me, I don't say that lightly.

Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.

When it comes to music, something I'm passionate about, and knowing the reach and the power and how it transforms, it saves lives. Music does.

I became a musician because I love music, and that is what has sustained me; it's not because I thought it was a great way to make a living. Music saved my life.

Playing music was always a part of my life; I don't know anything else.

I just really longed to do music that reflected me as an adult and music that I thought was for other adults.
