The source of genius is imagination alone.

If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.

Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty. I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will.

What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.

My first instrument is piano, I play some piano and guitar. So my solo music is more like real singer/songwriter type stuff.

I dont like doing whats expected. Ive always done best when Ive listened to my instincts rather than following convention or doing what other people think I should do.

Why do I need succession planning? Im very alert, Im very vibrant. I have no intention to retire.

Deemest thou laborOnly is earnest?Grave is all beauty,Solemn is joy.
