Episode Highlights:

18:05 - Those people, when they graduate, they have no idea how to make it in this industry. They end up being the session players. So, they'll have a great career as session musicians or live musicians, and stuff like that. But I didn't have those aspirations. I wanted to be somebody who has a unique stamp and somebody who has a unique identity.

26:25 - As a musician, you always going to keep performing, keep writing, keep playing. And those creative juices just don't stop. You want to do stuff.

27:54 - You go through your ups and your downs  and sometimes you reach those pitfalls and sometimes you reach those brick walls, and you say to yourself, "Why am I even doing this?" But there's that little voice in your head that says, "Keep going. Don't stop." Because the only time you lose is when you quit.

30:32 - In our world, our family comes first. So, I would never compromise anything, in terms of ethics and morals, that I teach my son over fame and fortune. They just don't work like that in my house. You've got to have ethics. You've got to have morality. You have to be a good person first.

50:49 - Beyond the music, I want to leave people with the idea and the concept that anything is possible in this world. We can't buy the rhetoric that life is too hard, life is this, life is that. Don't accept the word. There are two words that are not in my vocabulary. And I tell Lamek don't put them in his vocabulary. The first word is can't and the second word is try. We don't try to do anything. We just do it. And the second thing is, I don't believe in can't. There's nothing I can't do.
