If I walk away from music, I walk away from myself.

I'm in control of myself. I take yes or no from no one.

I like any music I can feel.

There's more to being a musician than just making music.

I love what I do: there is no pressure. The music doesn't like pressure.

My outspoken beliefs have been embraced, but I don't consider myself an activist. Maybe people consider me as that, but it's not anything outrageous or bad I can't live with.
