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.

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.

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.
