"For any artist who has waited five years between a record and come back stronger than ever shows that they have real relevance as an artist."
"Your network is your net worth. In other words, it really is about the relationships that you have established that can help determine your success."
"My first book is based on... the three Cs - clarity, capability, and confidence. You need clarity about exactly what it is you want to do and then you need to spend the time developing your capability. And that's what gives you true confidence to be able to perform at a world class level."
"Your network is so critical because those are the people that recommend you. Those are the people that you will find out about gigs through and you will be connected with."
"I think the biggest mistake that I would say people engage in is getting obsessed with gear. It's not the gear, it's how you use the gear."
"I think it's much more important how you play it than what you play."
"I think everything we do is being of service. We're all in the service industry. When I'm on stage I'm being of service to P!NK, I'm being of service to my bandmates, I'm being of service to the audience, and my philosophy is, If everybody around me is happy, I'm happy."
"I did plenty of auditions that I didn't get the gig. But my attitude was not just to get the gig, my attitude was to, 'Who can I meet through this gig? How can I expand my network?'"
