Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.

For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.

So I don't think of myself as just a musician at all, I think of myself as an artist.

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.

I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.

As a musician, basically the masses never thought I was a musician.

I knew that I was going to have a life as a musician, because I always felt the pull. I don't remember ever having to make a choice.

I consider myself a musician.
