Quotes
Dig into the roots of culture, and it will grow. It's like a grass that is growing, and it cannot stop, and music is like the fertilizer for that.
There's more to being a musician than just making music.
Music is supposed to create an associate level, wherein I and you and you and I can associate without any misunderstanding.
I like any music I can feel.
Music is my work, writing songs is my work, touring is my work, going into the studio is my work.
