I love Richmond. I think growing up here had a profound influence on my music.

Guitar Player' was always the serious musician's magazine. They rarely catered to what was popular. They focused on innovative players.

I don't miss playing guitar anymore. I'm sure that's out of necessity, but I am grateful for so much more. I am surrounded by loving people, and I can still make music.

I still have downs and get depressed, but I try not to dwell too much on being negative because it always passes and there is still so much to do.

Never give up. There are always tough times, regardless of what you do in anything in life. Be able to push through those times and maintain your ultimate goal.

It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.

You know, Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me and he's somebody who has produced an incredible amount of work, and every single piece that he does is amazing.

I don't want to be a musician forever. I want to keep going to school and become a lawyer for women's rights and also use the law to help women.
