My father has been extremely supportive of my music. I would classify him as my hero. If it was not for him, there is no way I would be where I am.

The short and long of it is I don't believe the music should be about the person who made it. You shouldn't care what they look like or what they believe in.

I was born to make music, really I have no choice. There are certain things I have to live with and I have lots of regret, but I hope to make the world a better place. I still believe that I can make difference.

I had never even known that people made music like that. It was quite a revelation.

I don't own anything but my violin, and I'm sleeping on my manager's couch.

He was a very stern man, referred to me as his boy. I was his star pupil and he was my mentor.
