“Words ride on the energy of tone, its warmth or coldness; think of tone as the music of how words are expressed. You want this music to be soulful, whether you're giving sweet talk or tough love.”

“Music does not replace words, it gives tone to the words”

“I already know the words. I just need to learn the beat. This tone-deaf white girl will try to make music out of recovery.”

“Music is just a word for something we love largely because it consists of things that words can't express. Likewise, the heart is just a word for something in us that music sometimes touches. ”

“People usually complain that music is so ambiguous, and what they are supposed to think when they hear it is so unclear, while words are understood by everyone. But for me it is exactly the opposite...what the music I love expresses to me are thoughts not to indefinite for words, but rather too definite.”

“Music is forever. Music is life. Music is something worth believing in...Music is my words, my soul...my muse.”
