It's a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well. - Yanni

I remember a few years ago I was watching this astronaut from the space shuttle, talking about his experiences in space and talking about what earth looked like to him from above.

If my music can change someone's mood for the better even a little bit, that's amazing.

On the plane home I remember thinking that I am who I am because I have faith in myself, and it has always been the possibility of emotionally rewarding the experiences that has encouraged me to gamble on myself; those experiences have made all that I do worthwhile.
