I have made stage adjustments which allow me to hear myself better onstage so that has made playing live much more enjoyable.

I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.

Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to.

If everyone would look for that uniqueness then we would have a very colorful world.

Depression is something that makes you lose your sight.

I practiced for at least two hours every day for twenty years, before then I practiced maybe four to five hours a day, and before then 14 hours a day. It was all I had ever done.

The other thing that has made playing live for me more enjoyable is the audience. I never knew I had such heartfelt, loving fans.

When you are live you never know what is going to happen.

If you copy then it is not self-expression.

I love to be creative.

If you are a musician and you dont show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.

Autism doesn't have to define a person. Artists with autism are like anyone else: They define themselves through hard work and individuality.

David Hasselhoff was hospitalized after falling off the wagon again. He probably got used to drinking too much, because for years he never had to worry about driving anywhere - his car drove itself.

When you write things down, you commit to doing them. If you simply tell me what you want to do, there is really no commitment to getting it done.

Looking for pleasure is the best way to ensure you won't find it.

I have found no better way than to value and savor the sacredness of daily living, to rely on repetition, the humdrum rhythm which heals and steadies.

A political leader worthy of assassination

What people have got to remember is that Sept. 11 happened in 2001 and not in 2003. It was planned under the presidency of Bill Clinton.

Nobody gives you an education. If you want one, you have to take it.

Personally, I tend to worry about what I save, not what I spend.

The South is the region that history has happened to.
