Music is service to people. Music and art - we need it like blood and oxygen. It heals us, and it reveals us to ourselves.

I'm not the type to turn to drugs and alcohol, but I do have a profound devotion to art and music - and children.

For me, art is a more trustworthy expression of God than religion.

My dad and I had a real meeting of the minds. We loved to talk about music, politics, and art. He loved children. The thing I missed most about my dad when he died was that this person who really gets who I am at the core was gone.
