You Made My World Stand Still, And

Music Is Very Nebulous, And You Can Conjure Up A Lot Of Moods With Music. But Lyrics - They're A Lot More Tangible. They're Much More Specific. And You Want To Say Something Meaningful And Creative And Artistic And That Tells A Story And That Takes People Someplace Else.

I Do Think Music And The Arts Are Imperative For Our Kids For Their Creative Learning And Their Emotional Education, Which Breeds Better Adults. I'm Doing What I Can To Try And Pick Up The Slack And I Applaud Anyone Who Tries To Give Back To Their Community.

If You Love Large, You've Got To Hurt Large. If You've Got A Lot Of Light, You've Probably Got An Equal Amount Of Darkness.

I Was Raised With A Mother Who Told Me That I Wouldn't Succeed, That I Wasn't Good Enough. Even At The Pinnacle Of My Success, She'd Come To A Show, And There'd Be, Like, 10,000 People Screaming. And She'd Say, "i Just Don't Get It." I Think She Had So Little Faith In Herself And Her Abilities As A Parent That She Couldn't Imagine Any Offspring Of Hers Could Do So Well. And All That Did Was Drive Me To Push Back. If Someone Says, "you Can't Do This," I'm Like, "f-ck You! Oh, Yes I Can, And I Will."

I Sort Of Feel Like Music Saved My Life When I Was Young. This Is The One Thing That I Knew I Was Good At.
