I really wanted to be a musician, but it turned out I had no sense of time.

There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

When I graduated college, I had a fairly successful weekly club gig and was buying more studio equipment and writing my own music. I realized I didn't want to work.

From a very early age, I decided that I wanted to be able to do my music but still be able to live a normal life.

My parents were so far from the music world that they couldn't conceive how you could make a living. But for me, it was the only solution for the rest of my life.

I worked full time jobs, basically doing manual labor until I could make enough money supporting myself as a musician.

Actually, I wanted to be a musician, either a guitarist or a drummer. I guess my dreams were in the entertainment industry, and I landed somewhere along there.

In my mid 30's, after a decade or so of giving full time to the music thing and finding myself with about $10 in the bank and no assets other than my musical equipment, I realized I needed to get serious about making a living.

I wanted to play in a band, and I wanted to do music for a living, and that's what I dedicated my life to.

From childhood I was passionately fond of music and wanted to be a musician. I have no recollection of any real desire ever to be anything else.
