"[M]usic is, like... so... it's so healing. And it's so important. Just... it's like a core element to my being. And... I need to play it in order to feel really good. I've learned this about myself and I accept it about myself. And I'm very happy that I can go back to this.

"Sometimes when I'm like 'Oh, I don't have that much energy' or, like, 'Oh, I think I'm feeling a little bit like I can't find my footing' or something like, I don't feel very grounded, I realize it's because I haven't, like, played #music at all. And that's been like, just something very steady in my life."
