“It's always so rewarding, gratifying to me, as an artist and a writer,...” — Ed Kowalczyk Quote

It's always so rewarding, gratifying to me, as an artist and a writer, to see how this music gets more important for a lot of people as time goes by. And it's not just nostalgia. It's a feeling of it's really relevant to their lives, even though it's 20 or 25 years old or more.

As a songwriter and a singer in a successful rock band, I have had the good fortune of being surrounded by incredible musicians, lots of wonderful production on both record and onstage, and plenty of volume!

We came from a small town where there was no music scene or no other bands, and we decided to put ours together and go for it.

The place we go as a band is a sort of samadhi, intensely emotional and not bound by self-thinking. And lyrically, one of the goals is to suggest that something is going on beyond what you can see.

Every artist wants something different out the game.

I don't consider myself a musician. I'm an artist.

When I got into the music industry, I wasn't focused on being the most famous artist or even getting a major record deal. It was just to make music on my own terms or create my own image, do my own hair, do my own makeup.

I want to be a great person, not just a great artist.

I always thought Stuart deserved a little bit of fame. He was a gifted artist and a very wonderful person.
