"One of my best compliments is I had a friend of mine say, 'Gosh man, you're the same person everyday' and I think that's good."
"We all have some kind of hurdle to overcome or cross to bear or obstacle to conquer. In my case it's a physical issue, but it could be anything."
"Acknowledge your limitations but don't be defined by them."
"You use what you have and you don't try to be something you're not."
"It's just a matter of focusing your resources and using your time and your talent to the best of your opportunity because there's only so much time in a day and you've gotta find out, like, prioritize, what's the best way for me to make a living."
"There's a spiritual thing that happens between the audience and the performer. And the more the audience loves what you do the better you do."
"The studio is a terrible rehearsal hall. So, practice and know your music backwards and forwards. You should never come in and go, 'Hey, how are we gonna end this song'?"
"I think anytime you can find a band that has an audience you think will be receptive to you, but an audience you have not been able to tap into because they've got Warner Brothers behind them and you don't... it's a good idea to go and open for those guys, even if it's for free, and steal their audience, basically."
