What you see is what you get. My God, I don't have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona.

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

I get hugs all the time from strangers. I do believe that people can feel your persona when you perform live, but it is one of the nicest things if you can translate that on your records.

I'm constantly dodging people in L.A. There are some people I don't ever wanna see again, but if you live where you grew up, you're running into people constantly.

Live as though it were your last day on earth. Some day you will be right.

It takes such a commitment of passion and energy and time, and it's all so encompassing to direct that you've got to see the bullseye, and you know you can hit it - or at least get awfully close.
