It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

I am responsible for me. I can kind of take care of what I need to do and should do what I like to do.

The real amazing thing about all of this is I think I've maintained the mentality of a musician throughout it all, which I'm proudest of. And I'm still playing on people's records and singing on people's records.

Autism is part of who I am.

If I weren't the way I am, I shouldn't write my symphonies.
