“I’m a filmmaker, I’m a storyteller, an entertainer, if you will, so what can I do to participate?”

Once you get into the habit of work, you can be more productive in the things you want to do.

My wish list is pretty short. I wish that we had empathy.

I’m one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there’s no escaping it.

Basically you’re performing for these tabloid outlets and the paparazzi.

Sort of doesn’t really matter as much anymore, when you’re surrounded by great musicians who bring their spirit, their own talent.

Words are maybe less than accessible at expressing.

Well, I’m not a scientist; I’m not an expert on environmental law; I’m a guy that can tell stories.

Let’s show people how desirable it is to step it up and climb towards heaven.

I would always just sort of pick up instruments and make noise with ’em.

I’ve been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it’s rare.

So I think we have a lot of room to grow and be a better society, and it’s a constant battle. It’s an exciting opportunity to be active.

I think it can be a lot more collaborative. People, instead of competing, they can actually support each other, in music.

So I always look for a way to communicate ideas and help to spread excitement for change.

And when you perform and create this story, they’re chuffed – they get excited, they capture it, and they put it out.

I think you can find a lot of joy and inspiration through food.

Words just aren’t necessary a good enough opportunity to express.
