But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant to last.
~ Prince
Hard to say what's right when all I wanna do is wrong.
What if half the things ever said / Turned out to be a lie / How will you know the truth / If you were given all the answers / And you stopped to wonder why...
You don't have to watch 'Gossip Girl' to have an attitude.
Music is music, ultimately. If it makes you feel good, cool.
Just sharing music with each other - that's cool. It's the selling that becomes the problem.
Technology is cool, but you've got to use it as opposed to letting it use you.
Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.
No one can come and claim ownership of my work. I am the creator of it, and it lives within me.

I'm thankful enough or blessed enough to be able to say that Miles Davis was a friend when he was alive, and he was a wonderful mentor and really, really funny, you know.
Sometimes ideas are coming so fast that I have to stop doing one song to get another. But I don't forget the first one. If it works, it will always be there. It's like the truth: it will find you and lift you up. And if it ain't right, it will dissolve like sand on the beach.
Art is about building a new foundation, not just laying something on top of what's already there.
My mother told me one day I walked in to her and said, 'Mom, I'm not going to be sick anymore,' and she said 'Why?' and I said 'Because an angel told me so.' Now, I don't remember saying it; that's just what she told me.
I always knew I had a relationship with God. But I wasn't sure God had a relationship with me.
Too much freedom can lead to the soul's decay.
