The purpose of music is to elevate the spirit and inspire. Not to help push some product down your throat. It puts you in tune with your own existence.

Home is a relative concept for me. I've been in Los Angeles 10 years, and I definitely feel at home here, but I also feel at home in a lot of places. I'm not too attached to anywhere, really. Home is where the people you love are at the time.
Write down how you really feel, not how you wish you felt or how you think you should feel, but how you really feel. Don't try to change it. Honor it: "This is how I feel." Express it, and then it's not suppressed and stored somewhere in your liver or somewhere else.

I just try really hard to be me, and sometimes that means I'm unfiltered. I try to give people myself because I think making a great product is being in touch with how you feel about things and being able to express things. I really hope I can stay in touch with how I feel about things and I'm able to express that.
I feel like an email cross-dresser - I use a Microsoft product on my Apple product to access my Google product.
We are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That's kinda cool!
