“Sometimes you're going down a path and then all of a sudden, you're going in one direction, but then something steers you into another. And that's when so many great things happen.” – Debbi DiMaggio
“Song is just a piece of art, and it's kind of like a landscape painting is a piece of art. It is reflective of the landscape, but in no way can it take in the full majesty of the landscape. It's just a picture of it, and it should inspire us to want to examine the real thing.” – Michelle Nezat
