When I turn down the volume, it's amazing how much I can actually hear.

I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to, and that's what I tend to write toward.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing.

Whether you're beginning with the foundation or you're finishing off the second story...the purposeful way you continue to lay the bricks matters. There are no short cuts...

Of equal (and often more) importance...the people that support what you're building, who show up without fail, support your efforts, and roll up their sleeves to sweat alongside you...

Forget the rain.Only losers pay attention to the weather because they have nothing else to occupy their mind.
