If I have an audience, I'd like to make music for my whole life. But it's not really up to me.

The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.

If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.

Creating music based on art and giving away from your spirit is more important than making a living.

If you're going into music, work on your music and do it as well as you can. And look at it as a business. I'm in it to make a living, too.

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

Make your own music. It can be done.

I am very aware now that music is a business, but there is also a way to go about making music that is true to yourself as opposed to doing, you know, just going through the motions and making things that would just be commercially successful.

That's exactly why I came into music in the first place: to be inspired by what I hear to make it something else, to make it my own. That's how culture, creativity, moves, isn't it?

But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself.
