I'm glad that my music has helped other people as it's helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.

It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.

My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.

Ladies and gentleman, I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn.

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.

I sort of feel like music saved my life when I was young. This is the one thing that I knew I was good at.

Music is an extremely powerful force if used properly to uplift people. I believe music should be uplifting and not downgrading... it's a very, very powerful tool.

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.

Maybe if I knew music I couldn't do what I am doing.

The music I always liked as a kid was stuff I could bum out to and realize, 'Hey, someone else feels that way, too.' So if someone can do that with my music, it's mission accomplished.
