I am not going to be dictated to by fans, certainly. I am dictated enough to by my record company to last me a million years.
I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.

Most fear stems from sin; to limit one's sins, one must assuredly limit one's fear, thereby bringing more peace to one's spirit.
Music, not sex, got me aroused.
Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.
