"I Like Music because…it is food for my soul. It is where I find all my joy. Even the joy of loving my family. I can express all of that through music. Other people's music speaks to me in the same fashion. There is nothing better than when somebody else writes something that resonates with you. That's kind of the goal of writing music. You want to make a sound that gets in everybodys soul. It is better than money, better than everything when you are playing to people and they are all there with you." EVERLAST
