“Music is nothing separate from me. It is me. I can't retire from music any more than I can retire from my liver. You'd have to remove the music from me surgically — like you were taking out my appendix.”

“Music is not a hobby, not even a passion with me; music is me. I feel what people get out of me is this outlook on life, which comes out in my music. My music is the last expression of all that.”

“Music is my life, if I am without music or if I can't sing any more, I die, I'm nothing…because music is everything.”

“Music for me is like a balsam. I always whish that when people are watching me or listening to me, they take with them this energy I receive from God.”

“My motivation is that inner driving force within me to share my music with the world. I want to get my music out there so I can inspire people just as I have been inspired through music. Music makes you feel; whether it’s happy, sad, or a million different emotions which come to mind, music can invoke those feelings. That’s inspiration to me. ”

“Rock music pays off. Rock music takes me on a joyride. Rock music keeps me off the hell city bus. Rock music will always look out for me. But I will not let my torture profanity demon shoot it down.”

“Music allows me to disconnect from my present reality, and communicate to my future wisdom.”

“I think rock music is more personal for me. I have more freedom. I can show more of my personal emotions in rock and roll music. With classical music, I can only play something that is written already.”

“Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around.”

“Don't judge me from my looks or the way I act, cause judging someone else can make you unworthy, thank to God for the gift of music he gave me!!”
