John Varvatos Quotes

Music for me is an emotional necessity. It's therapy. It's what I live and breathe.

Music is about expressing things you can't in everyday life.

Music can be a source of escapism.

Music is supposed to wash away the dust of everyday life.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.

For many people, music is here to let them forget the daily chores of life.

Once I discovered how important writing music was to me and just what a huge weight it lifted off of me, I knew that it was going to be the biggest part of my life, the biggest love of my life, the biggest thing in my life.

I find a therapy in playing music, in many different ways.

Music was the one thing I could control. It was the one world that offered me freedom. When I played music, my nightmares ended. My family problems disappeared. I didn't have to search for answers. The answers lay no further than the bell of my trumpet and my scrawled, pencilled scores. Music made me full, strong, popular, self-reliant and cool.

Music is my release.

Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.

Music is a safe kind of high.

Music is my release.

Music was a big outlet for me. Being able to play an instrument and sing was definitely a good way for me to escape things I was dealing with: family issues, growing up, being a kid and not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.

I play guitar, so that's kind of my outlet, but its just something I want to keep for myself.

Writing songs used to be my hobby; it used to be my getaway.

No matter how the day's going, when I get out there on that stage, it makes it all all right.

Yeah, I've always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.

Music has the power to make me feel good like nothing else does. It gives me some peace for a while. Takes me back to who I really am.

I do music because I can just pick up my guitar and sing, and completely satisfy, instant gratification. I don't need a script, I don't people, I don't need anything, cameras, I just have myself and my guitar, or keyboard.

It's so wonderful... if your whole day is rotten, once they start the music, it seems to melt away.

Singing gives me a lot of energy.

If things aren't going well, music is what I turn to so I can get away from it, to take my mind somewhere else.

I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul.

Music just makes sense to me. I don't ever worry when I'm singing. It's the safest place. I am a bit of worrier.
