“Those fields of daisies we landed on, and dusty fields and desert stretches. Memories of many skies and earths beneath us - many days, many nights of stars.”
“It all depends on you. If you want it to be different,it will be different. Don't look at the world with your eyes but with your heart.”

“I feel so lucky to have found two other, now three other musicians, that I can absolutely communicate with musically and believe in what they're doing almost 100% of the time. I've talked to a few [other] people in bands and that just isn't always the case.”
“The sounds of anger are not melodic.”
“Stop judging life! Look at every event as blessed. It is offering you the fastest track to get onto your highest, happiest and most successful state. Your soul is working it all out perfectly. When you accept this you will make life amendments easily and lovingly. Then the pain stops and the joyous creation begins.”
“Shakespeare wrote, Einstein thought, Ataturk built.”
“They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea, He wields a mighty sceptre, O'er lesser powers that be.”
