    “I always felt that music is a good way to address the world's issues. To be in a band, the best bands I've ever played in, all the instruments are different. And we don't curse those differences, we bless them.”

    "That's why I think the whole world should learn to play music. Then we might understand that differences are a blessing, not a curse."

    "At this point in my life Id like to live as if only love mattered."
    "Some folks call her a runaway. A failure in the race. But she knows where her ticket takes her. She will find her place in the sun."
    "Now love's the only thing thats free. We must take it where it's found. Pretty soon it may be costly."
    "I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people living ordinary lives."
    "I'm still thinking and hoping there's an opportunity for people to have better lives and that significant change can occur."
